Overview

SILVERbac is an inherent antimicrobial technology. SILVERbac provides PROTECTION - by inhibiting the growth of 99.9% of bacterial pathogens on the surface of treated products SILVERbac is SUSTAINABLE - Fabrics enhanced with SILVERbac are environmentally friendly and non-toxic SILVERbac PREVENTS ODOR - SILVERbac technology minimizes bacteria that thrive in perspiration to create unpleasant odors SILVERbac is DURABLE - and remains effective for the lifetime of the product. SILVERbac is not a coating or a topical treatment. It is incorporated into polymers at the point of manufacture and will be there for the lifetime of the product. SILVERbac is different because of the unique way the product is added during the extrusion process of polymers. The resulting product is perfect for all applications where confidence in hygiene and the fight against harmful bacteria is paramount. The SILVERbac antimicrobial additive is provided as a master batch and can be incorporated directly into the material’s manufacturing process with no additional changes or modifications to current industry standard equipment. Unique master batches are available for a broad range of polymers including polyester, nylon, PBT, ABS, PVC, and PP. Since SILVERbac is encapsulated within the base polymer of the fibre used in textiles, its effectiveness won’t wear off or be washed out during laundering or cleaning and will last for the lifespan of the material. The look and feel is not affected. Independently tested by accredited global laboratories, SILVERbac is effective against harmful pathogens including MRSA and E.coli.
