The Combined Efficacy of Nano Silver Complex, HOCI & Natural Surfactant

OUR WATER PURIFICATION PRODUCT RANGE

Fighting Harmful Pathogens - Nano Silver

All pathogens (bad germs) are single cell anaerobic organisms. 

An anaerobic organism or anaerobe is any organism that does not require oxygen for metabolism. Instead, their metabolic functions are dependent on a certain enzyme or protein. Nano Silver targets enzymes by destroying proteins, and has no effect on good bacteria or aerobic organisms. 

In fact, by killing bad bacteria, the positive bacteria are stimulated to fight off pathogens 

SCS Hypochlorous Acid 
​HOCI

 SCS proprietary HOCI is manufactured using an electrical process that produces 100% stable HOCI, which maintains stability for 2 years at concentration 500ppm, or below. No acid is used as a stabilising agent in our process.

SCS HOCI has a kill-rate 80x stronger than peroxide on the same PPM bases. It is safe for both human and animal consumption while being environmentally friendly.  SCS HOCI is medically approved by the FDA and is used in hospitals for the treatment of wounds and surfaces

SCS Natural Surfactant
CSIR-Tested

SCS surfactant is a natural cleaning agent that is derived from seawater and palm oil extracts. It helps to remove dirt and grime from surfaces without leaving harmful residues. 

The emulsifier, made from natural extracts,  allows for water and oil-based droplets to break down into finer globules and to stay in suspension longer. SCS de-agglomerator helps to prevent the formation of clumps and hard water deposits, keeping surfaces clean and free from mineral build-up

M3T for Golf Courses

M3T: Integrated Turf and Irrigation Enhancement for Golf Courses

M3T is an advanced, non-toxic, biodegradable compound engineered to address persistent turf and irrigation challenges in golf course environments. 


Supplied in liquid form, it is introduced directly into irrigation or water storage systems. M3T contains no petrochemicals, alcohol, glycols, or ammonia, making it safe for continuous use.


Though technically a surfactant, M3T offers a broader range of benefits due to its proprietary blend of seawater, plant-based oils, and natural salts. It delivers performance-enhancing outcomes in water management, turf health, and infrastructure longevity






Algae and Biofilm Control

Algae accumulation in irrigation systems can lead to clogging, turf stress, and unsightly water features. M3T's powerful de-agglomeration properties inhibit algae growth by breaking apart colonies at the molecular level, reducing reliance on algaecides and preserving pond clarity

Calcification Removal

Hard water often results in calcified deposits within pipes and sprinkler systems, decreasing water flow and system efficiency. M3T dissolves these deposits, improving waterdistribution and preventing costly infrastructure maintenance or replacement

Irrigation Efficiency % Turf Moisture Management

M3T enhances water infiltration by lowering surface tension, leading to better moisture penetration and uniform soil distribution. This reduces channeling and helps maintain optimal moisture near the turf’s root zone for longer periods. Foliar absorption of nutrients makes irrigation more efficient

Optimized Nutrient Uptake and Fertilizer Synergy


  • Breaking down nutrients for easier absorption

  • Suspending nutrients for uniform application

  • Enhancing spread over turf surfaces

  • Contributing over 68 trace elements beneficial to soil health


Sodium Mitigation in Coastal and Saline Soils

Golf courses using sodium-rich water sources or exposed to coastal spray often experience turf degradation. Reduce sodium buildup in soil, reduce structure and water permeability. 

Independent studies have shown a 20% reduction in active sodium levels following M3T treatment

Performance Validation and Global Adoption

M3T offers golf course superintendents a scientifically proven, environmentally responsible tool for enhancing irrigation systems, turf health, and input efficiency. Its multifaceted benefits support high standards of playability, aesthetics, and sustainability in professional turf management.

APPLICATION: Domestic; Abattoirs, Hospitals; Factories

Scaling - Mineral Coating & Corrosion

The build-up in production systems, pipes and storage reservoirs restricts water flow, reduces process efficiency and leads to loss of production. Mineral scales form when dissolved solids and minerals due to increased concentrations, elevated water temperature and high PH. Sludge and organics form when suspended materials (by-products of corrosion, dust, sand, microbial growth, minerals) are introduced through influent water or airborne impurities.
descaler product for industrial use

JUST DESCALE IT with M3T

If M3T is added to process water, the M3T molecules will accumulate in large numbers on the surface between the aqueous solution and the metal/other surfaces, thereby reducing the surface area available for agglomerated crystals formed in the earlier steps of the scale formation process. If scaling has begun to form on the surface, the M3T molecules will break down the interface between the water and the deposited scaling crystals.

SCS For Mining

M3T Dust Particle Resolution - Underground, Blasting, Conveyor, Crusher, Stacker, Transport, Terminal & Human Settlement

An End-to-End Infrastructure Solution
Roads are a major part of infrastructure at any mine; and  under constant costly repair due to haulage.
Dust is an issue, as is vehicle wear and tear on uneven surfaces. By having a fully maintained road on the mine avoids potholes, wash ways, water logging build-ups and corrugated road.

We provide an environmental solution at a reasonable costing. Our solution is tried and tested; and product choice is based on many factors which include rainfall patterns, soil conditions and local weather factors.

Typically coal mines will have particle sizes between 1 to 100 Micron. Water treated with M3T will capture/wet all particles within 0.1 to 350 microns, encapsulating fine particles of dust between 72 – 0.1 Microns

M3T Overview for Mining
At an 0,025% < 1.0% addition of M3T per volume of water, the surface and interfacial tension is reduced from 72 to 0.1 microns. An effective economic application dosage of M3T ranges between 0,0025% < 3%, dependent on the application and air movement.
This method allows for wetting and emulsification and grants the ability to integrate materials into watery solutions or suspensions.

Static and steric charges within the solution and suspensions are neutralized to give dispersion and particle suspension. SCS M3T is the only known industrial 100% natural surfactant product that is able to breakdown the surface tension to as low as 0,1microns
Reduction of Surface Tension
M3T reduces the surface tension of liquids allowing them to increase performance through:
  • Increased adhesion of the liquids to solid particles whic produces a powerful surfactant
  • Allows for water, gas and oil-based droplets to break down into finer globules and stay in suspension longer, resulting in a powerful emulsification
  • Prevention of particles forming clusters or agglomerating, resulting in a powerful de-agglomeration
  • Solid particles, for example,  anthracite dust which has a particle range  between 2 to 100microns) are able to be successfully suppressed and neutralised

Mosmart obtained the services of Matrolab in South Africa to conduct specific compressive tests relating to road construction. Matrolab is accredited with the SANAS testing laboratory and is a Civil Engineering Services group
Tests conducted were of the type CBR-UCS @ (%) MOD AASHTO and tested for 90%, 93%, 95%, 97%, 98% and 100% MOD AASHTO. Tests were conducted for a 2% and 4% (illustrative purposes only) Cem.IV 32.5R BV cement mix on G6 material for road construction, comparing varying M3T water dosages to the control sample of natural water
Test results indicate that the best results were achieved for a ratio of 7.5ml M3T per 10 000ml (10l) of natural water. Tests further indicated that UCS (Mpa) is largely increased by adding M3T to the water for the road construction cement mix as opposed to using natural water only
Testing under practical road construction conditions have indicated that except for the obvious cement savings, additional savings on water usage, time spend and running costs are also achieved
