Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GoldShield’s patented antimicrobial technology. Have a different question? Get in touch.

How long does GoldShield's antimicrobial protection last?+

GoldShield's patented technology continues protecting treated surfaces significantly longer than standard cleaning products. GoldShield 75, our surface disinfectant, delivers up to 14 days of protection from a single application.

How does GoldShield's antimicrobial technology work?+

GoldShield's patented formula forms a strong covalent bond to surfaces and textiles. It won't leach or become fugitive, and penetrates surfaces for better coverage — continuing to protect the treated surface from microbes long after it has dried.

Does GoldShield replace regular cleaning?+

No. GoldShield's treatment complements your existing cleaning and infection-control protocols rather than replacing them — it continues protecting the treated surface between cleans, not instead of them.

Is GoldShield's formula safe to use?+

GoldShield's antimicrobial formula is water-based, with no harsh chemicals — developed to be as safe and environmentally sustainable to use as possible.

Which industries does GoldShield serve?+

GoldShield protects offices, healthcare facilities, hospitality venues, schools, public facilities, construction sites, marine environments, transportation fleets and travel touchpoints across South Africa. See our Industries page for details on each.

What's the difference between GoldShield's three divisions?+

Surface Disinfection treats interior surfaces directly. Packaging & Transportation extends the same technology to packaging materials, pallets and fleet vehicles. Air Conditioning treats HVAC components, which are dip-treated and reinstalled for a protected airflow path.

What sizes does GoldShield 75 come in?+

GoldShield 75 is available as a 750ml spray bottle, a 5L container, or a 1041 litre tote for larger operations — see the Surface Disinfection page for details.
