Zero.B: the ultimate green solution for absolute biofilm removal.
Biofilm is the invisible cause of many functional and qualitative issues in water circuits or wetsurfaces, such as deposit formation, microbial contamination and more. Often, biofilm is a hidden, neglected problem.
What is Biofilm?
Biofilm is a unique ecological niche that can form on all surfaces in contact with water or, more generally, on all wet surfaces. It is composed by a three-dimensional structure made up of inorganic material and organic polymers, and a variety of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, algae, etc.) that inhabit it, providing the perfect habitat for their proliferation. Within the biofilm, microorganisms find an abundance of nutrients for their growth and, most importantly, protection against the action of potentially harmful agents, such as disinfectants.
The presence of biofilm thus interferes with disinfection practices, frequently making them ineffective and insufficient: this can lead to microbial issues hard to be solved.
When is Zero.B needed?
- For shock treatment of water systems with intermittent flow or critical wet surfaces.
- To eliminate biofilm, Pseudomonas, Legionella, and other unwanted microorganisms.
- When a completely green solution is required

- Easy to apply
- Exclusive technology (patent pending)
Why is it so effective against biofilm?
The active ingredients in Zero.B dissolve organic and inorganic deposits and disrupt the structure of the biofilm, causing its destabilisation, decomposition, and complete removal for optimal cleaning.
By ensuring the elimination of the material composing the biofilm, Zero.B helps to remove the microorganisms within it, aided by the simple flow of water during the rinsing phase, for deep sanitisation action.
How Zero.B works: bifactorial approach.
- Phase One:
Complete removal of bio lm, thanks to the cleaning
formulation and its deep detergent innovative action. - Phase Two:
Deep hygienization, removing residual
microorganisms thanks to active ingredients ensuring
the absence of undesirable residues.
Zero.B is part of Sanipur Green Horizon.
ZERO.B was born from the synergy between Sanipur’s consolidated experience in cleaning & disinfection interventions and the desire to develop innovative formulations capable of surpassing current quality standards, while simultaneously offering solutions with a reduced environmental impact.
Bio-based, eco- and bio-compatible formulations have been developed, which are completely biodegradable and derived from renewable raw materials through biotechnological processes and green chemistry.
Some examples of application
Dental units are are highly susceptible to the formation of organic (biofilm) and inorganic (limescale) deposits within the waterlines, leading to undesirable consequences:
- Compromised water quality -> health risk
- Piping clogging -> compromission of the regular functionality, potentially leading to system shutdown
Zero.B guarantees:
- Effective removal of organic and inorganic deposits
- Reduction of microbial load
- Elimination of pathogens (e.g., Legionella)
- Compatibility with all the components of the dental unit waterlines

Hot Tubs, Hospitality, and Wellness
Hot Tub Sanitation
- Routine cleaning according to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Appearance of particulatein the water during use
- Compromised conditions of the water’s microbial quality
Thanks to its formulations, derived from renewable sources, eco- and bio-compatible, of biological origin, and with “zero residue,” it ensures a significant reduction in environmental impact.
It allows for effective biofilm removal and subsequent deep sanitisation of water distribution systems in numerous applications.
