Q-SHIELD™
SKIN & SURFACE SANITISERS
Next generation technology in sanitisers that provides anti-microbial protection for up to 24 hours on skin and 28 days on surfaces, killing 99.99999% of germs*.
Q Shield™ is a range of skin and surface sanitisers that provide durable protection against a broad spectrum of pathogens in commercial and consumer settings.
The patented antimicrobial formula forms a coating that kills bacteria and germs on contact, then provides durable protection against further microbial contamination for up to 24 hours on skin and 28 days on surfaces*.
Q Shield™ acts like a pair of invisible gloves on your hands, or an invisible protective layer on surfaces, providing peace of mind as you go about your daily activities.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Q Shield™ surface composition kills microbes by acting like a sword to effectively skewer and rupture the microbe’s outer cellular wall. The unique mechanism means after drying, it bonds securely to the surface which enables Q Shield™ to continue working long after application. Regular washing or cleaning of the surface will not remove the antimicrobial barrier.
The patented antimicrobial formula is made up of three parts:
WHAT IS Q-SHIELD™ MADE OF?
Q Shield™ contains highly purified water, ethyl alcohol (only 18%, and only to stop the product from freezing), fragrance, and the active ingredient an organoselenide quaternary compound, specifically: 3-Trimethoxy silyl propyl dimethyl octadecyl ammonium chloride, which is environmentally safe, and the molecule will break down into the common carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and silicon dioxide (sand or quartz) from which it was derived.
Since Q Shield™ does not dissipate or leach, it cannot be absorbed by the organism or by you. As the membrane of the microbe is physically ruptured and electrocuted, Q-Shield is not consumed and does not dissipate, nothing is transferred. The antimicrobial action is not depleted and continues to control microbial growth over time with no loss of efficacy.
Q Shield™ addresses the two main ecological concerns associated with traditional leaching antimicrobials: bleeding harmful toxins into the environment, and you, and the generation of adaptive organisms (super bugs). The mode of action of Q Shield is physical and its molecular makeup alleviates these concerns.
WHY SHOULD YOU USE Q-SHIELD?
The Q Shield™ hand sanitiser uses the latest 5th generation of silicone polymers and proven Quaternary Ammonium Compounds to prevent and inhibit microbial infestation.
Current hand and surface sanitisers stop working as soon as they are dry, or they leave behind a polymer residue. The efficacy of Q Shield™ has been proven on both surface and skin to provide lasting protection*.
