Product description: Sanosil SFS Sanosil SFS is a powerful foaming surfactant concentrate with modified acrylic resins for delayed film formation. It forms a biocidal active foam solution when applied together with the disinfectant Sanosil S015. Bacteria and mould are killed during the liquid phase. Once the foam has dried, a film forms which traps dead mould spores and mycelium components and fixes them on the surface. This means that no more spores or mould components can enter the room air. For technical and economic reasons, it is sometimes not possible to optimally implement the classic method of mould control (mechanically removing the dead biomass and inactivating the mould). For example, in the case of mould infestation on/in angled surfaces or cavities. In contrast, foam application also allows effective mould control for hard-to-reach places such as underroofs or screed insulation.
Sanosil SFS
Brief overview Suitable for: Disinfection and fixation of mould in areas that are impossible to reach Product type: Concentrated
Dosing/mixing with Sanosil S015: 1 part by volume SFS and 2 parts by volume Sanosil S015 disinfectant
Biocidal foam made of SFS and Sanosil S015 in a floating screed/screed insulation after water damage with subsequent mould infestation.
Sanosil SFS: How it works The solution of Sanosil SFS and Sanosil S015, foamed using a suitable foaming device, is sprayed onto the infested surfaces or pressed into cavities. The biocidal agents eliminate mould components, spores and bacteria. In addition, mould toxins and proteins that trigger allergies as well as MVOCs (which are responsible for musty smells) are eliminated/ broken down by oxidation.
Biocidal effect of the active foam at 20 degrees Celsius: Fungi/moulds/yeasts: 15 min Bacteria 15 min Viruses: 30 min Bacterial endospores: 60 min Consumption: 100 -150 ml foaming solution/m 2 = 30–50 ml SFS/m2 SFS ingredients: Anionic surfactants, modified acrylic resins, fragrance, preservative (Active ingredients S015:) Stabilised hydrogen peroxide (effect enhanced with silver ions)
The dead biomass is encapsulated and fixed to the surfaces by the resin film that forms as the foam begins to dry. This effectively prevents it swirling up due to subsequent air currents and impact sounds from footsteps, etc.

Disinfection component: Sanosil S015 Sanosil S015 is a disinfectant concentrate based on potentiated hydrogen peroxide, designed for water and surface disinfection. Hydrogen peroxide is used as the active ingredient. It is also stabilised and its disinfecting effect is catalytically enhanced several times over by adding a minimal amount of silver ions. This process can increase the disinfection effect by up to 800%. After application, hydrogen peroxide completely decomposes into water and oxygen. The small amounts of silver remaining on the surface after the peroxide has broken down inhibit germ multiplication for up to 72 hours. Sanosil S015 can either be mixed directly prior to application with 30% Sanosil SFS to produce biocidal active foam or (as a stand-alone application for surface disinfection/mould control) with water. The effect, when it is applied in mixed form, corresponds to that of the proven ready-to-use surface disinfectant Sanosil S010, which is primarily used for highly contaminated surfaces.
Sanosil S015
Brief overview Product type: Disinfectant for mixing with Sanosil SFS for producing biocidal active foam Suitable for: Mould control, disinfection of water damage Effective against: Fungi/moulds and their spores, bacteria, yeasts, enveloped/non-enveloped viruses, bacterial endospores Shelf life: 2 years Contains: 7.5g/100g hydrogen peroxide, 0.0075g/100g
Sanosil S015: extra action against mould toxins Not only can moulds adversely affect health through proteins on the surface of the mycelia and spores that cause allergies, but they can also form strong toxins. These mycotoxins are extremely stable and can enter the body through food as well as through the air. However, mycotoxins (especially aflatoxin) are very sensitive to Sanosil S015 and are quickly oxidised by it. S015 also denatures the allergenic surface proteins on mould components. This provides Sanosil S015 with a special bonus in terms of its effectiveness and makes it superior to many other products.
How it works (S015) The oxygen (1O2/-O2) released by the hydrogen peroxide attacks the cell walls of the microorganisms. The process of oxidation (cold combustion) denatures and destroys them.
The effect is supported by silver ions, which enhance the effect of the peroxide in a catalytic process. They also block the germs' metabolism (where applicable) and ability to multiply.

Sanosil SFS application (cavities) Important: always wear protective equipment (eyes and skin protection, P3 dust mask) during mould remediation work and when handling Sanosil S015. Avoid skin and eye contact with S015 or mould components.
Sanosil SFS
Step 1 Identify and eliminate the cause of mould (e.g. leaking drainpipe). Otherwise, mould may start to grow again after a while.
Step 2 Mix 1 part Sanosil SFS with 2-3 parts Sanosil S015 and pour the solution into a foaming device. For the best results, a professional foaming device with a compressed air connection or an additional compressor with 6 bar/150 l of air output/min is required. Our recommendation: Birchmeier InduMatic 20 M. This device produces a stable, fine creamy foam.

Step 3 50 ml of SFS combined with 150 ml of Sanosil S015 forms 200 ml of foam concentrate, which can be foamed to 25 to 50 times the volume (5000 –10000 ml). Cavities can thus be completely filled with disinfectant foam through holes (which may need to be drilled first).
If necessary, a flexible PVC hose can be attached to the lance nozzle (using a suitable clamp), which can be moved in the cavity and simplifies foam distribution.
Step 4 After the foam has been applied, wait for the foam to break down and for the film to form after drying. The application time depends on the situation, but should be several hours, or preferably overnight. Afterwards (if necessary), any remaining moisture can be removed by blowing in warm drying air.
Step 5 Any openings made to the foamed cavities for inserting the foam should not be closed again until it has been ensured that all residual moisture has dried out and the cause attributed to the mould growth has been completely eliminated.

Step 1 Identify and eliminate the cause of mould (e.g. uninsulated roof substructure with moist air rising from the living area). Otherwise, mould may start to grow again after a while.
Step 2 Mix 1 part Sanosil SFS with 2-3 parts Sanosil S015 and pour the solution into a foaming device. For the best results, a professional foaming device with a compressed air connection or an additional compressor with 6 bar/150 l of air output/min is required. Our recommendation: Birchmeier InduMatic 20 M. This device produces a stable, fine creamy foam.

Sanosil S015
Step 3 Mix 40–50 ml of Sanosil SFS and 100 ml of Sanosil S015 per m2 of surface and fill it into the foaming device. Wear protective equipment (for the skin/eyes). Connect the compressed air hose, select a relatively light foam setting and foam at 3.5 – 4 bar pressure using the flat spray nozzle. Wear suitable respiratory protection (min. P3) to protect yourself from aerosol formation. Foaming a surface with an area of 1 m 2 takes approximately 20 seconds.
Step 4 After the foam has been applied, wait for the foam to break down and for the film to form after drying. In case of enclosed rooms with poor air circulation, install a drying device to support the drying process as necessary.

Sanosil S015: Stand-alone application (without SFS) Important: always wear protective equipment (eyes and skin protection, P3 dust mask) during mould remediation work and when handling Sanosil S015. Avoid skin and eye contact with S015 or mould components.
Sanosil S015
Step 1 Identify the cause of the mould and eliminate it where possible. Otherwise, mould may start to grow again after a while.
Step 2 Apply a solution of 2/3 Sanosil S015 and 1/3 water to mould stains, overlapping the edges by approx. 5–10 cm. It can be sprayed on or applied with a brush. Only apply as much agent as adheres to the wall without it running off in drops. (Average consumption +/- 50 ml per application and m2.) The application time is at least 60 minutes. This will already destroy a major portion of the mould. If possible, the agent should be left to act for 2–4 hours, although approximately 99% of the wetted mould infestation will have already been killed off after about 60 minutes.
Step 3 The dead mould components must now be removed from the surface by thoroughly washing, brushing/rubbing them off. Do this ideally with a plastic brush, warm water and detergent so that detached mould particles bind in the liquid and are not stirred up.
Important: do not brush mould components when dry or inhale them.
Step 4 After cleaning, a second disinfection procedure is carried out to effectively kill any mould components that may still be present. Do NOT wash the surface after the second application.
Step 5 (optional) Follow-up treatment/painting of the surfaces to restore the proper appearance. For surfaces at risk of re-infestation: coat with a special moisture-regulating coating of Sanosil Paint 'n dry.
