What is Tinosan SDC (Silver Dihydrogen Citrate or Silver Ion 2400)
Tinosan SDC is a relatively new to the market as an all-natural preservative and antimicrobial based on the stabilized silver complex produced by a unique electrochemical process with silver and citric acid. It is a water-soluble silver dihydrogen citrate.

It is formaldehyde-free, non-halogenated, contains no phenols and no quaternary ammonium compounds. It passed challenges tests for Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, Yeast, Molds and Fungi and fulfilled USP test requirements in formulations with anionic and nonionic emulsifiers and shampoos.

Tinosan SDC provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and is effective against unwanted skin bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms. Its fast-killing activity makes Tinosan SDC an effective antimicrobial for home and personal care products.

Bacteria have been exposed to silver ions for over 4 billion years and no widespread resistance has been evident to date. The risk for microbial resistance to Tinosan SDC is considered extremely low.

Tinosan SDC has meet FDA standards for these intended uses.
Applications include: Deodorant active for Personal Care Products
The antimicrobial active ingredient for Personal Care Products
Preservative for Personal Care Products
Biocide for Household and hospital products
GRAS - Generally recommended as Safe

Tinosan SDC is a colorless, odorless, low viscous liquid. It has no known adverse effects on human health and is classified as not hazardous under OSHA regulations.
Its LD50 is >5000 ml/kg. (Note: The LD50 of water is around 190 ml/kg)

In testing on humans, Tinosan SDC caused No skin or eye irritation and is not a skin sensitizer.

Usage and incorporation:
Tinosan pH = 1.4 to 1.6
Use in Skincare/personal care products @ 0.1% - 0.3%

Extremely good compatibility has been shown in most formulations at a pH <7 with anionic and non-ionic surfactants, emulsifiers and the amphoteric surfactants but is compatible within all pH ranges.
Silver Ion 2400 is compatible with many other antimicrobial actives and most other preservatives.

Silver Ion 2400 is highly water-soluble and easy to incorporate into the aqueous phase of gels, surfactants and emulsions made by cold process.
In the manufacturing of emulsions produced by hot process, Silver Ion 2400 should preferably be added to the final formulation after the emulsion has cooled down, but this is not essential and does not alter its efficacy.
For formulas that are sensitive to acids, Silver Ion 2400 can be pre-neutralized prior to addition to the product.

The additional of Silver Ion 2400 to products with a pH lower than 8 and temps below 130 degrees are optimal in order to promote your formulations stability and prevent possible precipitation and discoloration but is not essential. We have had significant success with formulations outside this pH and temp range without issues.
Our extensive research shows the efficacy of Silver Ion 2400 is not altered if precipitation or discoloration occurs, but they may be undesirable by the client in the final formulation.

High salt concentrations (greater than 30%) can reduce the bactericidal activity of Silver Ion 2400
Anionic surfactants in concentrations of 0.03% to 1% increase the biocidal efficacy of Silver Ion 2400.

Additionally, Tinosan SDC exhibits strong activity against Corynebacteria and significantly reduces body malodor in deodorant preparations, making it an excellent deodorant active.

Storage & Shelf Life:
Silver Ion 2400 is considered inert until combined with a formulation giving it indefinite shelf life.
It is light sensitive and should be stored in a container that protects it from light.
Final formulations sold in transparent packaging and exposed to bright light may experience a photoreaction or discoloration, but this does not decrease the antimicrobial effectiveness.
Products preserved with Silver Ion 2400 should ideally, be stored in ambient conditions and ideally used within 3 years of manufacturing.

Availability: Silver Ion 2400 has not been widely advertised because the manufacturer believes, as we do, that the product sells itself. Many smaller businesses are now using it as their primary preservative system.

For those who are not sure about how to do the math, you can request via email, a table which has the usage percentages figured out from 1 oz up to 128 oz (1 gallon).

Additional Technical and Scientific Information

Tinosan SDC is NOT colloidal Silver. It is silver dihydrogen citrate and only contains Silver Ions which are positively charged in a base of citric acid and water.

Colloidal Silver particles are solid silver particles suspended in a liquid with a negative charge.
Colloidal silver is a suspension of submicroscopic metallic silver particles in a colloidal base.

The Silver Ions in Silver Dihydrogen Citrate, when they come in contact with the human body (because of their positive charge), quickly combine with chloride to form an insoluble compound called silver chloride which is is basically non-reactive in the body. If ingested the hydrochloric acid in the digestive tract supplies the chloride ions that will cause ionic silver to quickly form silver chloride, an insoluble compound that will not dissolve or deposit itself in the bodies tissues and is quickly excreted by the kidneys in the urine. If ionic silver were to be absorbed into the bloodstream or interstitial spaces via the skin it would encounter a large supply of chloride ions and again quickly form silver chloride and be excreted via the kidneys.

Food Allergens
Silver Ion 2400 has been evaluated for the source of the raw materials used in production. There are no raw materials, including additives, used that have origin in peanuts, soybeans, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts and or wheat or gluten. Based on this examination of the ingredients and their sources, Silver Ion 2400 is free of the specified known allergy stimulating food substances.

Argyria - is caused by Colloidal Silver.

Silver Ion 2400 does not cause or contribute to Argyria.

Argyria is a blue skin discoloration resulting from excessive exposure to silver. Silver metal workers, people who mine silver, and people who take colloidal silver supplements can all develop this rare condition. Once argyria develops, it is very challenging to treat. Continued exposure to silver either through skin contact, ingestion or inhalation can result in severe complications.

There are two types of argyria: localized and universal.

Topical treatments such as nasal sprays contain silver compounds that can cause localized argyria at the mucus membranes. Some tattoo colors also have a silver base, which can cause localized argyria. Medications now seldom include silver compounds, and reputable tattoo parlors do not employ silver in any of their dyes. Tooth fillings made from silver do contribute to slight risk for developing the condition, so as a result, fillings do not usually contain silver today.

Universal argyria occurs when the people ingest silver particles in medicines or through exposure to fine silver dust. In these cases, the blue or grey color of the skin is more diffuse, but may at first be noted mostly on areas of the skin that receive sun exposure. The face, hands, and chest may all turn a bluish-gray. In the worst cases, all of the skin will turn blue, and organs like the spleen and liver may also have a bluish cast.

Unlike Colloidal Silver, Tinosan SDC does not cause or contribute to Argyria.

Our Tinosan SDC comes directly from the manufacturer and is made here in the USA.

Laundry Detergent Boost

This product is a great addition to cleaning laundry.
When Laundry Detergent Boost is activated with water, the sodium percarbonate breaks down and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is released.
Hydrogen peroxide disinfectant is still used to kill all kinds of germs including E. coli and Staph aureus.
Once the H2O2 is released, it is very unstable and continues to break down into water and a reactive oxygen radical.
It is that oxygen radical that attacks organic stains and odors, breaking them apart and completely dissolving them.


Sodium Percarbonate

This is the primary ingredient in OxyClean. Sodium Percarbonate (PC) is a white granule produced from Soda Ash and Hydrogen Peroxide.
It serves as an alkaline oxygen-based bleaching agent stable at normal temperature.
It provides powerful cleaning, bleaching, stain removal capabilities- yet it's environmentally compatible.
It will break down into water, oxygen, and soda ash.

Can be use in Laundry formulations for these benefits:

*No environmental hazards - breaks down to oxygen, water and sodium carbonate (soda ash) in your wash water.
* Color safe and fabric safe. It brightens colors.
* Continual use will not cause yellowing or graying of cotton fabric.
* Effective stain removal in a broad range of water temperatures.
* Lengthens time between linen replacement.
* Prevents fabric from becoming yellowed or darkened.
* Does not weaken the strength of fabrics like chlorine bleach.
* In the laundry Sodium Percarbonate is used to destain, deodorize, and whiten. It is very effective as a laundry pre-soak for heavily stained articles.

Sodium Bicarbonate

Sodium Bicarbonate is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. Because it has long been known and is widely used, the salt has many other names including sodium hydrogen carbonate and "sodium bicarb," as well as baking soda, bread soda, saleratus, or bicarbonate of soda. It is soluble in water.

This white solid is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slight alkaline taste resembling that of sodium carbonate. It is a component of the mineral natron and is found dissolved in many mineral springs.

Baking soda is a natural particle that dissolves while cleansing the skin or in bath water. It is a natural alkaline that neutralizes acids and washes away oils and dirt. It's natural pH balance leaves the skin soft, silky and smooth. It is great to use in soaps, bath salts, and skin scrubs. When mixed in appropriate amounts with citric acid, it produces a chemical reaction that leads to the fizz in bath fizzies.

Cosmetic uses:

* In toothpaste, baking soda helps to gently remove stains, whiten teeth, freshen breath, and dissolve plaque.
* Putting a little in shampoo removes left overs from other products and makes the hair more lustrous.
* Washing ones faces with sodium bicarbonate cleans pores and prevents acne.
* Add to hair if it's dirty and there's no time to wash it. Dry with warm air.

As a cleaning agent:

* A paste from baking soda can be very effective when used in cleaning and scrubbing.
* A solution in warm water will remove the tarnish from silver when the silver is in contact with a piece of aluminum foil.
* With water, it cleans the impurities on contact lenses. Rinse completely before wearing contacts to avoid stinging of the salt in baking soda.
* Cleans brushes and combs to prevent residues.
* Mix into a paste to clean the surface of an iron.
* Use to clean kool aid, wine, and coffee stains.
* Washing a car with it can remove dead bug bodies without damaging the paint.
* Used after teeth brushing for whitening effects.
* Pour 1 cup of baking soda down a drain and follow with 1/2 gallon of White Vinegar will degrease the drain.

Other uses:

* Baking soda and boiling water unclogs drains.
* It is used as a fabric softener in laundry.
* It is used to test garden soil for acidity. If it bubbles, the soil is too acidic
* If mixed with super glue, it makes a suitable filling for cracks in walls.
* Sprinkle on wet pages of books and then put them out to dry under the sun.
