A brand new use for an old element.
Microbial infections are a big problem these days, killing
thousands of people a year. In fact, some bacteria are responding
to attempts to kill them by mutating into resistant strains.
But there’s an answer, and it lies in one of the world’s
oldest antimicrobial agents: silver.
Silver disrupts the development cycle of bacteria, inhibiting
its growth. It’s effective against more than 650 strains
of bacteria, yeast, fungi and molds – yet it’s safe
for humans and for the environment.
ADD SILVERion™, SUBTRACT MICROBES.
Almost any fabric made by Domestic Fabrics can
include the SILVERion™
antimicrobial feature. We use a special technology that
embeds an invisible silver compound in the fibers comprising
the fabric.
SILVERion™ fabrics actually combat the spread of infection,
retard odor and wash cleaner than conventional fabrics.
And, as an added benefit, they resist discoloration.
What’s more, the antimicrobial protection is permanent
– it even stands up against harsh commercial laundering.
As long as the item made with the fabric is around, the protection
is active.
