Properties of disinfectants

	Disinfectants
	MICROZED ID‐MAX	NANOSIL D2	OPIDEX OPA
Composition	‐ Didecylmethylpoly(oxyethyl) ammonium propionate ‐ Polyethylene glycol ‐ N,N‐Dimethyldodecylamine ‐ Anti‐corrosion agent ‐ Complexing agent	Hydrogen peroxide and silver ion	Ortho‐phthalaldehyde 0.55 g/100 mL
Properties	‐ Yellowish clear liquid ‐ Medium disinfectant solution	‐ Ready to use disinfectant ‐ Usable in a wide range of thermal ranges (0°C‐95°C)	‐ Ready to use disinfectant ‐ Transparent light blue liquid pH: 7.5
Mechanism of action	‐ Inactivation of the cellular enzyme system and protein degradation and cell membrane disruption	‐ Binding of silver ions to cellular enzymes and inhibition of bacterial cell metabolic activities ‐ Damage to the cell wall by oxygen radicals released from hydrogen peroxide	‐ Protein degradation of microorganisms ‐ Prevent of spore germination
