In today’s trying times, consumers and business owners alike have become full of fear and uncertainty. Global shutdowns and pandemics due to rapidly shedding and spreading viruses have become the norm, rather than the exception. The truth however is far worse. The fact is these recent headlines and events have actually only brought to light a tremendous problem that the world has always been facing, the lurking threat of invisible indoor pathogens, that are not limited to viruses, but also include, mold, bacteria, nano-bacteria, dust mites, mycoplasmas and more.

Traditional cleaners and sanitizers fall short of the mark, as almost all of them contain petrochemical poisons, that need to stay wet on the surfaces they are applied for up to 10 minutes in order to kill anything. What’s worse after they stop killing the vast majority of these products become food for the very same microorganisms they are being used to stop! Traditional alcohol based sanitizers are actually poisonous and dry the skin, while certain types of parasites actually mutate in the presence of alcohol. Other non-alcohol based sanitizers are used for the majority of surface cleaning and many of these surfaces are impossible to remain wet enough to create an effective kill due to simple geometry, things like shopping cart handles for example with a cylindrical shape, when sprayed the liquid rolls off and cannot remain in place for the 10 minutes, required. Shoppers may have a feeling of safety engendered by seeing a young person wiping down the handles but in reality the damp rag just creates a cross contaminating nightmare as the germs from one cart handle are spread to the next! What’s worse the residues of these poisons are not healthy, and over time the microorganism develops a resistance to the product.

In order to solve this challenge, a bold new approach is needed. One that is cost competitive to traditional products, but that actually works, and one that ideally continues to kill long after the initial application. In a perfect world this new approach would kill the organisms in a typical traditional cleaning approach and then remain on the surfaces to continue killing but without traditional poisons to which microbes are able to adapt and develop resistance. Enter oligodynamic metals. What is an oligodynamic metal, and what is the oligodynamic effect? Oligodynamic metals are quite simply metals that kill germs. Oligodynamic is from Greek “oligos”, for few, and “dynamis”, for force, meaning even in very low concentrations, they continue to kill. Traditionally these metals have been used for thousands of years, to stave off infections, preserve foods or liquids, and kill germs. Things like brass doorknobs and copper countertops remain germ free and are self-sanitizing. Recently there have been a range of new nano-metal products, like colloidal silver that have been touted for their germ killing effect and are often mixed with hydrogen peroxide in order to sanitize surfaces.

At Bioblaster we have taken a 21st century approach to using these metals, and we are using them in a space age formulation to solve a variety of sanitizing applications. For the last 10-15 years nanomaterials have been all the rage. Nano- coatings, nano-medicine, nano-vitiamins, nano-ceramic, and the list goes on and on. What makes nano materials so special is not just the small size, but the surface area that comes from that small size. Surface area, is especially important when it comes to sanitization. The greater the surface area of the disinfectant, the greater chance that it will come into contact with the germs that need to be killed. That is why we have partnered with a professor of pharmacology and developed a truly novel, mechanism to go far beyond this new traditional nano-materials approach, into the range of the angstrom or sub-nanometer range or the in other words the atom. Nanometer scales range from one nanometer to 1000 nanometers and encompass a wide range of sizes, the scale below nano is truly mind-boggling as we journey into the world of the atomic.

Our novel process, creates individual angstrom sized particles of oligodynamic metals, these metals are not “heavy” metals just incredibly small individual atoms of select elements that are food safe and necessary in the average diet, yet contain a powerful germ killing effect in low concentrations. We only use positively charged metals, which have a tendency to attract negatively charged pathogens via static charge or static cling. This effect is extremely powerful, and a simple brass pitcher has been shown to release minute amounts of copper ions into stored water, killing fecal coliform bacteria in counts as high as 1 million bacteria per milliliter! Copper Sulfate is used to destroy algae, and copper-b hydroxyquinoline is used in paint to prevent mildew. These formulas work, but contain other chemicals which can be more harmful to the environment than the simple metal atoms themselves. Our unique formula uses Cu++ánd only that, just copper at the atomic size which means a massive surface area which kills the germs immediately and then stays attracted to the surfaces after the cleaning to keep on killing, for days or weeksüp to even months!

Best of all using our formulas can be done as a replacement for traditional cleaning products sanitizing products, or as an addition, to the cleaning formulas that are already in use!

Using our atomic sanitizers guarantees that the business you own is actually sanitized and continues working in-between cleanings. This is the most important thing, for any sanitizer in this post Covid-19 brave new world that we live in and that we require to operate with consumer confidence in this new world era.

Add our products to your sanitizing needs, our formula is EPA registered and approved and can be used in wipes, gels, deodorant, countertop sprays, mopping formulas, toothpaste, mouthwash, fogging solutions and more. Call to discuss your specific product formulation needs and we will be thrilled to show you how we can address your product needs.
Answers to Common Product Questions

1. Where is Copper used in the United States?
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approves copper for use in drinking water, agriculture, irrigation systems, and fish production. The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) also certifies copper safe for use in public drinking water systems as an algae and bacteria control. The product has been on the market for 16 years with NO adverse effects. Furthermore, several large cities use copper sulfate pentahydrate in their municipal water systems including: San Diego, California; Cincinnati, Ohio; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Akron, Ohio; and the Washington D.C. aqueduct.

2. In drinking water isn’t Cu++ harmful to humans?
No, Copper II (Cu++) is not harmful to humans. Copper is an essential mineral and nutrient needed by the human body. In the first trimester of pregnancy, women need copper to help develop the baby’s immune system. Copper has been used in medicine to cause people to vomit after ingesting poison. According to the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, copper is not a heavy metal. The only people allergic to copper are those people who have Wilson disease. This disease is an inherited disease that causes the body to store copper in the tissues. People who do not have this disease do not store copper in their systems and the copper passes through their bodies very quickly. Copper is not harmful to humans when it is used correctly.

3. Is there a difference between using the product in ponds and elsewhere?
There is no difference in where Cu++ is used; it will do the same thing wherever it is used. Cu++ is an effective algaecide/bactericide in any body of water. The copper produces no harmful chemical compounds when it kills the microorganisms. Using the copper formulation in ponds or water systems will produce the same positive results.

4. Do you have any inspections?
The USEPA inspects our manufacturing plant several times a year. NSF inspects our plant several times a year.
