Bonds on application
Applied wet, it cures onto the surface within minutes and forms a permanent mechanical bond. It does not leach, transfer or wear away with normal cleaning.
Official UK Distribution
Up to 120 days of protection, not ninety seconds.
A standard disinfectant kills what is on the surface, evaporates, and leaves it open again within minutes. Goldshield bonds to the surface and keeps working continuously between cleans.
0DAYS
maximum protection window
HVAC treatment runs to 120 days. GS75 and GS5 hold for 14 days between applications.

The mechanism
It does not wash off, because it is not sitting on top.
The active bonds covalently to the surface and forms a microscopic layer of positively charged spikes. Microbes carry a negative charge, are drawn onto the spike, and their cell wall ruptures on contact. Nothing is consumed in the process, so the layer keeps working.
Animated diagram of the Goldshield mechanism in three stages. Stage one, bonds on application: applied wet, the active bonds covalently to the surface and forms a microscopic layer of positively charged spikes. Stage two, attracts and ruptures: microbes carry a negative charge, are drawn onto the spikes, and their cell wall ruptures on contact. Stage three, keeps working: the layer is not consumed, so it keeps working, and degrades only by abrasion rather than by expiry.
Attracts and ruptures
Microbes are drawn to the charged layer, pierced mechanically, and destroyed. Because the kill is physical rather than chemical, resistance does not develop.
Keeps working
The layer is not consumed. It continues protecting for the full window, degrading gradually through abrasion rather than expiring on a fixed date.

Evidence
The certificate is the deliverable.
Nobody buys antimicrobial protection for its own sake. They buy the ability to prove it to an inspector, an insurer or a customer.
| Standard | What it covers | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| EN 1276 | Bactericidal activity, quantitative suspension test | The baseline standard UK inspectors ask for first |
| EN 13697 | Bactericidal and fungicidal on non-porous surfaces | Proves performance on real surfaces, not just in a tube |
| EN 14476 | Virucidal activity in suspension | Covers enveloped and non-enveloped viruses |
| ISO 22196 | Antibacterial activity on plastics and non-porous surfaces | The durability standard — measures ongoing, not instant, kill |
| ISO 20743 | Antibacterial activity on textile products | Applies to the GS5 fabric and soft furnishing product |
| EN 1500 | Hygienic handrub | Applies to the hand protection product |
What you get after treatment
A dated certificate per treated zone, batch numbers and data sheets for every product used, an application method statement, and a schedule for the next visit. It goes straight into the audit file.
Independent verification
We arrange third-party surface swab testing before and after treatment on request. Your own numbers, from a lab that has never met us, are worth more than anything we could print.
Independent evidence
Not just our word for it.
81 independent studies since 2005, 10 of them peer-reviewed and published — including American Journal of Infection Control, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Below is a curated selection spanning journals, independent labs and real site trials; full bibliography available on request.
