Silver is the best known antimicrobial against MRSA type Staphylococcus bacteria. Staphylococcus, has strong resistance against almost all antibiotics, is one of the most harmful bacteria causing hospital infections.

Antimicrobial Application in Textile Industry

Raising demand of antimicrobial finishing products is a result of more textile materials usage in sterile environments. Consumers high hygiene and comfort property expectations from regular textile products made antimicrobial applications more common in the industry.

Antimikor Effect Mechanism

Antimikor, attacks to microorganisms from three different ways to prevent immunization and mutation. Their effect mechanism keeps the balance of nature undestroyed.

• ( + ) charged Ag ions destroy ( - ) charged microorganism cell membrane to drain cell water.
• Reacts with Sulphur in microorganism RNA to destroy protein structure.
• Prevents cell enzyme formation.

Antimikor AG and Antimikor AG ULTRA

Titanium dioxide composite Silver ions (2-5 micron radius), manufactured by Nano technology, Silver ions penetrate into the deepest point of the fiber therefore wide and strong spectrum effect is obtained. Micron size particles are effective on larger surface area so provide stronger antimicrobial effect. Due to its nano structure, product is not migrated to human skin. It does not effect immune systems of microorganisms and it is stable against high temperatures.

Due to its nano structure, spreads over a wide surface on the fabric. Nano particles fills all gaps in the fiber and they are permanently bound on the fiber. Therefore product is effective in wider spectrum and more laundry & dry cleaning stable comparing to conventional antibacterials.

Permanent Antimicrobial Effect

Antimikor AG and Antimikor AG ULTRA permanent effects are confirmed by ASTM E 2149-01 and AATCC 100 tests. Antimikor AG and Antimikor AG ULTRA applied textile materials antimicrobial properties are stable against up to 50 home laundry washes.

Application Both ANTIMIKOR products application is easy and safe for Antimicrobial effect Antimikor AG 5,0 gr/lt Antimikor AG ULTRA 3,0-10,0 gr/lt Foulard Application Pick up % 100 Drying 140 - 160 °C
