Fast Easy Effective  

Spectrum 24 is an EPA Registered, broad spectrum antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral disinfectant that can provide up to 24 hour residual effectiveness. It kills the most dangerous bugs as well as everyday household germs.  

The Next Generation of Microbial Control  

Spectrum 24 is based on a patented new molecule, silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC). It is the first new antimicrobial in decades. SDC is an electrolytically generated source of stabilized ionic silver that, when formulated as a disinfectant, is colorless, odorless and non-staining and is designed for use on hard, non-porous surfaces. Silver Dihydrogen Citrate (SDC) is comprised of silver ions and citric acid. These are naturally occurring in the environment. Furthermore, there is no waste or byproducts created in it’s manufacturing process.  

Protected by Spectrum 24  

Spectrum 24 has the lowest toxicity rating (IV) assigned by the EPA. There are no harsh chemical smells. This product is odorless, noncorrosive, non-flammable, and there is no skin irritation that can be associated with other traditional disinfectants. Strong enough for medical use, yet ideal for use around your children.  

How it Works  

  1. The silver ion deactivates structural and metabolic membrane proteins leading to microbial death.

  2. The microbes view SDC as a food source, allowing the silver ion to enter the microbe. Once inside the organism, the silver ion denatures the DNA, which halts the microbe's ability to replicate and leads to its death. This dual action makes SDC highly and quickly effective against a broad spectrum of microbes.
