Conventional antimicrobials are absorbed by living cells and kill by poisoning the organism or by disrupting a vital life process. Goldshield is unique in that it destroys pathogens by a method called lysis, the process of piercing or disrupting a pathogen's cell membrane. The active ingredient in Goldshield forms a colorless and odorless positively charged polymer, lysin, which molecularly bonds to the treated surface. This is analogous to creating a wall of positively charged nails. When a microorganism comes in contact with treated surface, those molecular nails puncture the cell membrane and the positive electrical charge zaps the cell. Since nothing is transferred to the now dead cell, Goldshield retains its strength and is ready for contact with the next cell.
