The chemistry developed by these scientists was brilliant and unique because it solved all the deficiencies that had eluded the best chemists in the world for 30 years. Goldshield is the world’s only patented, functioning organosilane that has been fully stabilized in water, therefore will not self-condense, uses no acids or other solvents, is non-flammable, is water-based and odorless, does not leach, forms a long-lasting covalent bond, has a long in-bottle shelf life typically over a year and a half, is very easy to apply via a traditional spray bottle, is economical because a single application provides up to a 90 day “invisible” protective shield inhibiting bacteria and fungi that cause odor, staining or discoloration.
