WHATS GOLDSHIELD?
Whats Goldshield ?

Why Goldshield ?

Goldshield is the worlds first modern, next generation, patented, water stabilised, non-toxic, non-leaching, long lasting prophylactic shield against bacterial contamination.
Most disinfectants and cleaning agents deactivate shortly after application, posing a risk of surfaces and textiles quickly becoming re-contaminated. Using a unique, breakthrough technology that will persistently protect any physical surface or textile from microbial contamination will help mitigate the spread of infectious diseases. In this challenging climate, Goldshield Industries Europe Ltd. is committed to working with customers to improve outcomes for patients and support efficacy gains within healthcare and institutional settings. Goldshield is a system of products which flow from a core antimicrobial formula that is the only water based sanitiser in the world that offers this level of long lasting protection in such a multitude of applications. The product is available in a variety of forms. These include liquid concentrate, alcohol-free hand sanitiser, hand wipes, and ready to use GREEN surface cleaners. For skin application alcohol was the first generation of skin sanitising, yet it evaporates within 15 seconds providing no residual protection. Goldshields alcohol-free skin sanitiser and antiseptic will provide 24 hours of protection with one daily application, in the absence of hand washing.

HOW IT WORKS...
How it works...
The technology forms a covalent bond which remains affixed to any surface or textile material through a silane carrier. The substrate is then positively charged by a nitrogen molecule which pulls in negatively charged microbes. Through a long carbon chain this unique molecular assembly penetrates the cytoplasm tic membrane, physically stabbing the membrane, pulling ions out and denaturing proteins. This renders the microbe dead on contact and does not pose the risk of genetic adaptation or the formation of a super-bug. Goldshield has developed a unique bio-vapour high-heat system that will kill harmful microbes and spores in just 2 60 seconds, including C-difficile spores. Once a deep clean with this system is achieved, add an application of the Goldshield antimicrobial and your surfaces and equipment will be protected for weeks and months.

Goldshield Technology

STEP 1
The technology is a covalently bound antimicrobial which remains affixed to the surface or to a textile material and, in a molecular assembly, penetrates the cytoplasmtic membrane, physically stabs (the membrane) permitting the compounds which consist of a fat or lipid, soluble portion and a water soluble portion charge.

STEP 2
Goldshield surface kills microbes by skewering them on its microscopic crystalline structure.

STEP 3
Germicidal Ultraviolet Light penetrates the cell walls of microorganisms causing or preventing them from reproducing.

Other protective brands


STEP 1
Other products kill the bacteria, by sitting on the surface.

STEP 2
Once the surface protector comes in contacts with any object it then starts to break down its protective barrier.

STEP 3
All germs can now get back onto the surface, moments after it has been applied.

Military & forces


Goldshield technology is ideally suited for use as a decontaminant and a protective shield in a variety of military, first responder and civilian applications. Wound dressings Uniforms, including undergarments Protection against foot fungus Antimicrobial face masks and filters Tents and sleeping bags Paints, coatings and other surface treatments Use in food & beverage packaging and processing environments Use on surfaces in medical care facilities Water treatment filters

Hotel, Leisure & Sport


Infections among professional and amateur athletes are becoming more common, through sharing equipment and poor hygiene in changing room facilities and odour control. Training mats Swimming pool surround Protection against foot fungus Sports equipment University environments Fitness centres Changing rooms Hotel linens, carpets and drapes Common area handrails and other touch points Shower cubicles bathroom and spa areas Air conditioning filters Cruise line sanitation

Transport & Logistics


Within Transport and Logistics environments lies one of the most common transmission arenas of any infection and the associated control challenges allow Goldshield to rise to the forefront of infection transmission and control. Car Valeting Air Conditioning Filters - Vehicles Vehicle Interiors/Cabs Train Carriage Cleaning/Sanitisation Aircraft Cleaning/Sanitisation Bus & Coach operators - Vehicle Cleaning Sanitisation Shipping Containers Shipping - Cruise Liners/Ferries Cruise line sanitation

Healthcare
The number of patients to contract life-threatening infections in NHS hospitals has almost doubled in two years to a record level, official figures have shown. Equipment sanitisation Wheelchairs Medical machinery Hand sanitisation Uniforms Bedding Care Homes GP and Dental surgeries Medical vehicles

Veterinary
Animal pathogens are present in veterinary environments and these environments may play a role in the dissemination of infectious agents, including antimicrobial resistant bacteria. Goldshield advises that every veterinary clinic should have a documented infection control program.
