COMPARISON
So, how does our PRO-Techs formula compare against other anti-microbial disinfectants?
In a word -- spectacularly.
The patented PRO-Techs formula is eco-friendly, incredibly efficient, long-lasting, while also being colorless and odorless. PRO-Techs is silane-based, and uses a revolutionary electric charge to kill microscopic threats.
The chart below highlights the advantages of having a silane-based product over any other silver- or triclosane-based options.

Mode of Action
Engineered nanostructure mechanically punctures the cell wall membrane
Releases ionic free radicals that react with cell DNA and disrupt critical life processes in the cell
Releases toxic polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) for consumption or cellular absorption, causing lethal mutations in the cell
Leaching
Does not leach, does not migrate
Leaches for its mode of action. Must leach to work
