Applications

Antimicrobial Film can be used to help protect premises including Aged Care, Gyms, Banks, Chemists, Childcare, Schools and Retail Shops

How does it work?

The Antimicrobial film is made up of bacterial fighting silver ions encapsulated in a glass matrix which are distributed over the film in a uniform manner. When the film is cleaned or the environment is humid, silver ions are released from the top layer of the film. These ions come into contact with the bacteria, blocking their metabolism and/or interrupting their proliferation mechanism, leading to their destruction.

The Antimicrobial Action of Silver Ions

In its (elemental) metallic form, silver is inert and does not kill bacteria. Silver atoms (written as Ag or Ag0) must lose an electron and become positively charged silver ions, Ag+. Silver is ionised in air, but above all in a humid environment. Silver ions are highly reactive and affect multiple sites in bacterial cells, guaranteeing their destruction.

• Produce alterations to the cell wall
• When transported into the cell, bind with proteins and interfere with the production of energy, enzyme function and cell replication
• Silver ions are active on a broad spectrum of bacteria
