SELDOX (short forSELenium-reDuction-OXidation reaction) antimicrobial technology platform provides free radical-mediated antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal activity. The permanent catalytic generation of superoxide radicals occurs in the presence of oxygen & sulfur/thiol groups – both ubiquitous free radical generations. The various organoselenium compounds are preserved when covalently bound to the substrate.
Seldox leverages the unique properties of organo-selenium compounds to provide superior antimicrobial protection. Organo-selenium compounds are highly effective in disrupting the cellular processes of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, making them a powerful agent in preventing the spread of harmful pathogens. The organo-selenium in Seldox ensures a high level of efficacy while maintaining biocompatibility and safety, making it suitable for applications in medical devices, food packaging, and other sensitive environments. This innovative use of organo-selenium not only enhances antimicrobial action but also supports sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in various industries.
We are committed to practicing green chemistry principles in every aspect of our operations. By harnessing the natural antimicrobial properties of selenium, we develop innovative solutions that are both highly effective and environmentally friendly. Our organo-selenium compounds are designed to provide robust protection against harmful pathogens while minimizing environmental impact. Through sustainable sourcing, eco-friendly production processes, and the development of non-toxic products, Seldox is dedicated to reducing our ecological footprint and promoting a healthier planet.
Covalently bound & catalytic – SELDOX® will not stop fighting bacteria for the life of the product/material – it’s permanent and perpetual.
Non-leaching – whereas other an0microbials such as silver and copper leach into the environment, body or water supply, SELDOX® remains covalently bound to a substrate with no reduction in effectiveness nor intrusion into the surrounding environment.
Safe – unlike many competing antimicrobials, SELDOX® is non-toxic, safe in and on the body, and selenium is in fact nutritionally required.
FDA approved – In other applications, SELDOX® has been cleared for use by the FDA as a Class I medical device in the dental industry and is commercially in use today.
Letdown/concentration levels – SELDOX® ranges have been proven to be effective with a fraction of the amount most antimicrobial integrations require. Expected low let-down percentages allow for antimicrobial characteristics to be added at minimal cost.
