We want to circumvent this problem, which led us to become the first company in the world to develop a system for the dispersal of HOCL, an anti-viral and anti-bacterial disinfectant into vehicles.”
HOCL is an FDA approved disinfectant, scientifically proven to kill both viruses and bacteria on general and hospital surfaces, and has been shown to kill viruses such as the Avian influenza A (H5N1) virus and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus. It was added to the list of disinfectants for use against the Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, published by the Environmental Protection Agency in the USA in March this year.
According to Van der Linde, South Africa has some of the most stringent lockdown restrictions in place. “Social distancing is strongly encouraged to flatten the curve. When things return to ‘normality’, and people start using mass transport networks, we once again open ourselves up to infection. Our ViroGOLD Taxi Sanitiser Protocol includes the air ventilation diffusor system of HOCL, as well as hand sanitiser and mask spray, which is non-toxic and safe to inhale. This will ensure that the entire cabin or vehicle is sanitised and safe for the transport of commuters.
“Initially our focus will be on the taxi industry as it’s our most sensitive public transport system at present. We plan to roll it out to other mass transport concerns such as bus companies in the near future. With regards to production and distribution, we can deliver huge quantities immediately,” Van der Linde concludes.
CanbiGold has filed a non-provisional patent application at the American Patent Office.
Available ViroGOLD products include the Mask Spray, Nasal Spray, Hand Sanitiser, General Disinfectant Spray and Multipurpose Taxi Spray.

CanbiGold is a private company registered in South Africa that specialises in the cultivation and production of medicinal Cannabis and related products utilising a unique patent (provisional status) and intellectual property, which has been developed over a two-year period. CanbiGold is set to transform to a Public Company in the near future.
CanbiGold’s ViroGOLD disinfectant range is made up of a Hypochlorous Acid Solution (HOCL). It is a unique mixture of water and salt, and by applying their patented proprietary production process, they have created a stabilised pH version unlike most other HOCL on the market to optimise efficacy.
In its natural form, HOCL is a chemical that is produced by the body through white blood cells which is the first response for combating infections caused by bacteria or viruses. HOCL is essential to regulating the body’s inflammation process and is the key element for wound healing and overall health.
