SILVERPLUS®
The leading SILVER ION technology which provides hygiene, protection and freshness for textiles.
SILVERPLUS® is based on a special silver compound which has been applied to micro structured substrates by means of aqueous or coating application. It works on the triple effect mechanism where many odour-causing bacteria cannot adapt to the effect of silver ions. The silver ions with a positive charge have bacteriostatic effects.
Effect mechanism
- blocking oxygen-transporting enzymes
- inactivating sulphur containing proteins of the odour causing bacteria
- locking the cell membrane
Benefits
- provides bactericidal and slightly fungicidal properties
- imparts non-migrating and antimicrobial effects
- maintains freshness of textiles after washing
- does not affect the rub, perspiration or light fastness of dyeing
- resistant to washing and dry cleaning
- resistant to yellowing
- resistant to higher drying temperatures
- stable at pH 3 – 11
