By incorporating substances like silver ions into materials, manufacturers can create surfaces that prevent the colonization of harmful microbes like bacteria, mould, and fungi. This continuous protection extends the lifespan of products and keeps them hygienic for longer.

Key Points:

• Antimicrobial vs. Antibacterial: While "antibacterial" refers to protection specifically against bacteria (like E. coli or S. aureus), "antimicrobial" is a broader term that includes protection against a variety of microbes such as mould and fungi.
• Antimicrobial Additives:These are active ingredients, such as silver ions, embedded into materials like plastics, textiles, and coatings during manufacturing. This ensures that the product stays protected against microbes for its entire life.
• How It Works:BioCote® antimicrobial additives disrupt the growth of microbes through various mechanisms, reducing contamination and promoting better hygiene.

Benefits:

Long-Term Protection:Once integrated into a product, antimicrobial additives offer lasting protection against harmful microbes.

Hygiene and Durability:This technology helps prevent cross-contamination and enhances the functional life of everyday products.
