When applied, Goldshield breaks through surface tension and forms a strong covalent bond — becoming a permanent part of the surface itself.
A nitrogen molecule gives Goldshield a positive electrostatic charge. Since most microbes carry a negative charge, they are magnetically drawn to treated surfaces.
Goldshield's nano-scale structure resembles a bed of microscopic spikes. Attracted microbes are physically impaled and destroyed by the electrostatic charge.
Each nano-spike can neutralize multiple microbes over time. The bonded formula typically remains fully effective for up to 90 days before reapplication is needed.
Leading universities, health systems, and independent laboratories have rigorously evaluated Goldshield's efficacy across diverse environments.
Research findings have been published internationally, including studies in the American Journal of Infection Control — one of the most prestigious journals in infection prevention.
Evidence-based studies consistently demonstrate efficacy against viruses, bacteria, and fungi — with residual protection that outlasts conventional alcohol-based products.
Goldshield holds a US patent (9,089,138) for its industry-leading water-based antimicrobial formula, with additional patents pending in the US and internationally.
Researchers tested a long-acting water-stable organosilane to achieve sustained reductions in bacterial bioburden on hard hospital surfaces, where standard disinfectants allow rapid microbial rebound.
An evaluation of Goldshield 5's ability to reduce bacterial burden on contaminated surfaces through its covalently bound antimicrobial surfactant mechanism.
A quantitative risk assessment of Goldshield's antimicrobial agent, engineered at Emory University, quantifying the potential reduction of human health risks associated with hospital surface contamination.
Clinical trials revealed that Goldshield remains active for a minimum of 24 hours and up to 7 days after a single application, providing sustained protection against norovirus in care home environments.
Our AI assistant is trained on Goldshield's technical documentation and can answer detailed questions about the mechanism, efficacy data, and application protocols.
