How Symagin Works

Some biological agents, such as bacteria and viruses, are relatively easy to kill. Others, however, such as anthrax, are very difficult to kill because they are spores. How do you kill a spore? You kill a spore by fracturing the spore's tough protein armor, allowing the oxidizing agents (like those in Symagin) to attack the genetic material inside.

Symagin neutralizes chemical agents in much the same way a detergent lifts away an oily spot from a stained shirt. Its surfactants (like those in hair conditioner) and mild oxidizing substances (like those in toothpaste) begin to chemically digest the chemical agent, seeking out the phosphate or sulfide bonds that hold the molecules together and cleaving the molecules into nontoxic pieces.

Several hours after using Symagin (such as in a chemical or biological incident), Symagin collapses back to its compact liquid state of water and oxygen and is benign enough to be washed down the drain like dish soap

Decontamination of Chemical and Biological Agents

For decades, the U.S. military's standard protocol for decontaminating soldiers, vehicles, and equipment that had been exposed to biological or chemical weapons and contaminants was to wash them in concentrated bleach (NaOCl).

Unfortunately, not only did this make soldiers sick and corrode or destroy the treated equipment, but bleach did not even effectively neutralize the contaminants. The military needed a better solution.

Today, most sprays, fogs, or other decontaminating products are based on bleach, chlorinated solvents, or other hazardous or corrosive materials, and many newly emerging decontaminants are designed to work against only a limited number of either chemical or biological agents. They also are expensive. Symagin™ is different.

Because it is not harmful to people, Symagin can be dispensed on the scene immediately, even before casualties are evacuated. Symagin begins neutralizing both chemical and biological agents in minutes -- even before you know what agent you're dealing with. Symagin destroys the most worrisome chemical agents, including VX, Mustard Gas, Soman, and Anthrax -- the toughest known biological agent. Against the Anthrax simulant, Symagin achieves a 7-log kill, meaning it kills 99.99999% of the Anthrax spores. This kill rate is unmatched in the decontamination industry.

A Revolution in Mold Prevention and Eradication

Symagin is a new class of extremely safe, non-toxic, ultra powerful antimicrobial disinfectant and chemical decontaminant that kills bacteria, viruses, spores, molds, and fungus with unprecedented efficacy. It is also extremely effective at cleaning and de-molding marine surfaces that commonly attract mold and other bio-films (“slime”). Best of all, Symagin helps prevent future growth of mold on surfaces for years.

On boats, ships, and anyplace there’s humidity or moisture, mold can be a serious problem, imposing potentially serious health risks. And once mold sets in, it can be virtually impossible to eliminate. That is, until now.

Mold is a spore, which makes it extremely difficult to kill. When you scrub mold off of infected surfaces such as toilets, walls, and showers, the mold almost always grows back. This is because you have not killed the mold’s reproductive cells, which are called spores.

Spores’ genetic material is encased in a tough protein exterior. This armored shell makes the spore so impervious to extremes of heat, chemical, and radiation, that spores can survive almost anywhere – even outer space.

When conditions are not conducive to growing, the spores simply become dormant until conditions are more favorable to growth. And once conditions are right – such as in damp, dark areas – the spores hatch, and your mold returns.

Until now, spores have been virtually impossible to kill using any cleaner or disinfectant that wasn’t extremely toxic to humans. Symagin is a mold-killing, military-grade formulation that is designed for the U.S. military and other federal and local first-responders. Symagin kills not only mold, but also bacteria and viruses with extreme efficacy (99.9999%).

Military-Grade Surface Decontaminant and Disinfectant

Symagin 200 2-Part Solution is a military-grade surface disinfectant that is safe enough to use in small quarters inhabited by people (such as enclosed offices, bunks, and vehicle interiors) and is strong enough to:

• Neutralize and prevent the spread of highly infectious, blood-borne, viral diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C; antibiotic-resistant superbugs such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); and highly contagious, common viruses, such as the Norovirus
• Provide 100% biological and chemical odor negation (true chemical neutralization - not a mask)
• Break down and neutralize mold spores; creating a barrier on the surface that prevents organisms from growing back.
• Eradicate germs at a kill rate of 99.9999%
