The Science Behind Aqueos
At Aqueos, our aim has always been straightforward: to create disinfectant solutions that are highly effective, safe to use, and considerate of the environment. To achiesve this, we use a unique scientific process that blends several biocides together with a highly stable chelating agent and advanced mixing technology.
This specialist method allows ingredients that would not normally work well together to combine smoothly and effectively. When brought into balance, these biocides become far more powerful, providing protection that goes well beyond what each component could achieve on its own. Every product in the Aqueos range benefits from this synergistic reaction, ensuring reliable and consistent performance in all settings.
Gentle for Everyday Use, Powerful Where It Matters
One of the key strengths of Aqueos technology is its ability to use biocides at very low concentrations without reducing their effectiveness. By enhancing performance through advanced blending instead of increasing chemical strength, we produce disinfectants that are:
Safe for everyday use
Non-hazardous to animals and humans
Harmless to all life forms except micro-organisms
Our ready-to-use products are classified with the same hazard rating as distilled water, offering complete peace of mind when used around pets, livestock, staff, and families. Whether you work on a yard, in a veterinary practice, a grooming salon, kennels, or simply at home, Aqueos provides outstanding performance without harshness.
Long-Lasting and Designed to Perform
Unlike many traditional disinfectants that work only at the moment of application, Aqueos products continue to offer protection long after they have dried. Our formulation alters the surface tension of treated areas, making it extremely difficult for micro-organisms to attach themselves. If they cannot attach, they cannot multiply.
This continued surface disruption provides:
Extended protection between cleans
Reduced microbial build-up over time
Better hygiene in high-contact areas
It’s a simple yet remarkably effective way to maintain cleaner, safer environments without constant reapplication.
A Dual-Action Approach to Protection
Aqueos disinfectants work on harmful micro-organisms in two ways:
Physical Disruption
By altering the surface tension, the product physically weakens bacteria, viruses, and other micro-organisms. With less ability to stabilise or attach, they are far more susceptible to attack.
Chemical Breakdown
Once weakened, micro-organisms are exposed to a powerful blend of biocides that break down the walls of their cells. This process, known as cell lysis, causes the cell structure to rupture, rendering the organism inactive. This combined method ensures pathogens are not only weakened but fully eliminated.
Protection That Prevents Resistance
A common issue with many disinfectants is the possibility of micro-organisms becoming resistant over time. Because Aqueos products work through both physical and chemical mechanisms, pathogens are unable to adapt or develop resistance. This ensures:
No requirement to rotate disinfectants
No reduction in effectiveness over time
Consistent, dependable results even with frequent use
Trusted Across a Wide Range of Industries
Aqueos products are used and trusted in a wide variety of professional settings — from equestrian yards and veterinary surgeries to grooming salons, kennels, stables, agricultural facilities, and pet retailers. Professionals appreciate the balance of safety and strength, while everyday users value the simplicity and dependability.
Each Aqueos product offers:
Fast-acting protection
Low odour with no harsh chemical smell
Non-corrosive, non-staining performance
Compatibility with most surfaces and equipment
Wherever high hygiene standards matter, Aqueos plays an important role in maintaining healthier, safer spaces
