SmartSilver™ antimicrobial additives mean no compromises.
No compromises on performance. SmartSilver offers durable, safe, and effective protection against bacteria, fungus, and mold in a variety of textile, health care, and industrial products, including natural and synthetic fibers and fabrics as well as coatings, foams, and polymer applications. SmartSilver additives are EPA registered under FIFRA and Oeko-Tex® approved as free of harmful substances.
No compromises in the manufacturing process. SmartSilver is integration-ready and compatible with virtually any production process. SmartSilver additives are easily mixed or metered into finished and in-process formulations and do not impact other features and properties (such as flame resistance or moisture control) of the end-product. The additives are also stable against both UV light and high temperatures and resist oxidation.
