Product Overview
KNAMAX™ represents a breakthrough in sanitization technology, offering a concentrated disinfecting composition derived entirely from natural mineral salts (Food-Grade).This proprietary formulation consists of substances authorized as edible and unrestricted for food applications under EU (EFSA), FDA (GRAS), and FCC regulations. The active components include ionic forms of sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and other regulatory-compliant minerals.
When introduced to water, KNAMAX™ initiates an electrochemical reaction that fundamentally transforms ordinary water into a powerful sanitizing solution. This process reduces and restructures water molecules while charging them with millions of electrolytes. The resulting solution carries sufficient electrochemical potential to produce the dual effects of Electro-Cell-Membrane Disruption and Microorganisms DNA micro-fragmentation®.
This mechanism enables KNAMAX™ to effectively eliminate bacteria, fungi, and specific viruses by destructuring their cellular components. The sanitization effect can achieve near-sterilization status in food products, food preparation areas, manufacturing facilities, and other application zones. Efficacy is validated through precise measurement points expressed logarithmically, justifying its occasional designation as a "cold sterilization" method.
Key Benefits:
- 100% natural mineral formulation
- Food-grade and non-toxic composition
- Economically viable for commercial applications
- Achieves near-sterilization efficacy
- Compliant with international food safety regulations
Mode of Action: Ionophoresis and Electroporation
Cell Membrane Disruption
KNAMAX™ operates through a sophisticated dual mechanism of ionophoresis and electroporation. Upon application, millions of charged ions generated by the solution attack pathogenic microorganisms by disrupting their cell membrane functionality. This disruption leads to the eventual rupture of the cell wall, compromising the structural integrity of the microorganism.
DNA Micro-fragmentation
The high-velocity ionic activity causes ions to trespass the cellular membrane at speeds that prevent natural repair mechanisms from functioning. This continuous ionic bombardment causes de-structuration of membrane peptidoglycans, effectively making cellular life unsustainable. The process culminates in DNA micro-fragmentation, completely neutralizing the pathogenic threat.
Persistent Antimicrobial Action
Unlike conventional sanitizers that may provide temporary surface disinfection, KNAMAX™ creates an ionic environment that continues to exert antimicrobial pressure even after initial application. This persistent activity ensures prolonged protection against recontamination in treated areas and surfaces.
This electrochemical approach to microbial elimination represents a significant advancement over traditional chemical sanitizers. By physically disrupting cellular structures rather than relying on toxic chemical reactions, KNAMAX™ achieves superior sanitization while maintaining food-grade safety standards. The mechanism's efficiency is particularly valuable in food processing environments where both thorough disinfection and chemical safety are paramount concerns.
Efficacy Testing and Performance Metrics
KNAMAX™ has undergone rigorous laboratory testing against a comprehensive range of pathogenic microorganisms to validate its sanitizing capabilities. Testing protocols adhere to UNE/ISO standards, ensuring reliable and reproducible results across multiple microbial species and application scenarios.
Performance Validation
Laboratory testing demonstrates exceptional efficacy rates of approximately 98.9999% (6-log reduction) against tested microorganisms. This level of performance meets or exceeds industry standards for high-level sanitization in food processing environments. The efficacy has been confirmed through:
- Challenge testing against multiple strains of each target pathogen
- Evaluation across varied temperature conditions (40°F - 140°F/4°C - 60°C)
- Testing on multiple surface materials common in food processing
- Assessment of residual antimicrobial activity over time
- Verification of efficacy in the presence of organic soil loads
These performance metrics establish KNAMAX™ as an exceptional sanitizing solution for applications requiring the highest standards of microbial control without compromising food safety or equipment integrity.
Comparative Advantage
When benchmarked against conventional sanitizing agents including quaternary ammonium compounds, chlorine-based sanitizers, and peracetic acid solutions, KNAMAX™ demonstrates several advantages:
Superior Spectrum of Activity
Effective against a broader range of microbial species including certain antibiotic-resistant strains and biofilm-forming organisms
Reduced Corrosivity
Minimal impact on processing equipment, extending operational life and reducing maintenance costs compared to harsh chemical sanitizers
No Harmful Residues
Food-grade composition eliminates concerns about toxic residues, chemical interactions with food products, or environmental contamination
The demonstrated efficacy against such a diverse viral spectrum positions KNAMAX™ as an exceptional solution for applications requiring comprehensive viral control. This includes food processing facilities with farm-to-fork contamination concerns, veterinary practices, animal production facilities, and areas where zoonotic disease transmission represents a significant risk factor. The ionic disinfection mechanism provides advantages over traditional virucidal agents, particularly in contexts where residual chemical concerns or viral resistance may compromise conventional approaches.
Performance Against Biofilms
A distinguishing characteristic of KNAMAX™ is its capacity to penetrate and disrupt bacterial biofilms—complex multicellular communities protected by exopolysaccharide matrices that typically resist conventional sanitizers. The ionic action effectively disrupts the electrochemical gradient that maintains biofilm integrity, allowing penetration to underlying bacterial cells. This capability is particularly valuable in food processing environments where persistent biofilms in equipment and drainage systems often harbor pathogenic bacteria and serve as continuous sources of contamination.

Fungal Control Capabilities
KNAMAX™ demonstrates significant antifungal properties against yeasts and molds that represent substantial challenges in food production, storage, and processing environments. The solution's unique ionic mechanism effectively disrupts fungal cell membranes and interferes with essential metabolic processes, resulting in comprehensive fungicidal action against both superficial and invasive fungal species.
Target Fungal Species
Laboratory validation confirms KNAMAX™'s efficacy against several high-priority fungal contaminants in food processing environments:
In addition to these validated species, KNAMAX™ exhibits broad-spectrum antifungal activity against other common food contaminants including Penicillium species, Cladosporium species, Mucor species, Rhizopus species, and various yeasts including Candida and Saccharomyces species
Applications in Mycotoxin Control
Beyond direct fungicidal action, KNAMAX™ offers significant advantages in comprehensive mycotoxin control strategies. By effectively eliminating mycotoxin-producing fungi before they can establish in production environments, the solution contributes to prevention of mycotoxin contamination—a critical food safety concern with substantial economic and public health implications. This preventive capacity is particularly valuable in processing facilities handling susceptible commodities such as grains, nuts, coffee, spices, and dried fruits.
The solution's efficacy against fungal biofilms that frequently colonize equipment surfaces, drains, and hard-to-reach areas provides an additional level of protection against persistent fungal contamination that may evade conventional cleaning and sanitizing protocols. This comprehensive antifungal action, combined with the product's food-grade status, positions KNAMAX™ as an exceptional solution for facilities requiring stringent fungal control without introducing chemical residue concerns.
