Technology:
Goldshield’s patented formula provides long-lasting protection against bacteria and fungi that cause odors, staining, discoloration for surfaces when compared to other leading products. Goldshield surface protectants remain active for up to 90 days meaning, applications are less frequent but more effective when compared to alcohol-based solutions.

Why Goldshield?
Goldshield represents the forefront of antimicrobial technology, offering superior, long-lasting protection validated by NASA and trusted by industries worldwide. Whether in space exploration, healthcare, or daily hygiene, Goldshield ensures safety, reliability, and sustainability.
NASA-Endorsed Research
-
Background: NASA selected Goldshield as a non-alcohol, non-toxic antimicrobial solution for testing on stubborn bacterial biofilms in the water systems of the International Space Station (ISS).
-
Results: Tests using a CDC bioreactor showed Goldshield reduced biofilms by 99.9999% in TSB (Tryptic Soy Broth) environments.
-
Mechanism:
-
Positively charged nitrogen molecules disrupt microbial membranes, leading to cell death.
-
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis confirmed its significant reduction of microbial adhesion under optimal conditions.
-

Science Behind
Covalent Bonding, Electrostatic Microbial Destruction
Maintains long-term antibacterial protection with a strong bond that does not wash away or break down. The charged layer attracts and destroys microorganisms, preventing the development of resistance.
Nano-Scale Barrier, Non-Leaching & Durable
An invisible nano-protective layer prevents microbial adhesion and maintains long-term antibacterial effects even after cleaning.
NASA Recognized Advanced Research
Goldshield® has been recognized by NASA and tested on the International Space Station (ISS) for its effectiveness in reducing biofilm contamination in water systems. The Research suggested that it can effectively eliminate 99.9999% of bacterial contamination over an extended period. They are currently examining the use of Goldshield to provide an antimicrobial solution for the Mars habitat and spacesuit.
Mars Habitat
Spacesuit
Research: Hospital Experiment
Research data indicates a significant reduction in bacterial count in hospital environments following the application of Goldshield®, particularly on high-touch surfaces. Statistical analysis shows a significant decrease (*P < 0.05)* in bacterial presence.
Study: Outdoor Furniture (Textile)
Tests conducted on outdoor furniture treated with Goldshield® revealed that after two years of exposure to the climatic conditions of the southeastern United States, the treated panel showed no mold or mildew growth.
Additional Research
Several independent research institutions have conducted extensive studies on Goldshield® technology, including: Oak Ridge National Labora tory, California Institute of Technology - NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, RJ Lee Group's evaluation of military textiles, Nelson Lab's research on antimicrobial properties in military fabrics.
