Key Points

Trusted

SILVERbac protects you and your products from pathogens like E. coli and MRSA, reducing the effect of bacteria-based odours from sweat. It also reacts to a uniquely configured detector, securing your brand against counterfeiting.

Safe

SILVERbac poses no harm to health. Extensive tests carried out and validated by an independent International Antimicrobial Council laboratory have proven the technology to be skin safe and non-toxic.

Inherent

SILVERbac is applied directly to your manufacturing process as a master batch, and is encapsulated directly into polymers, so the final product is antimicrobial for the life of the product. It doesn’t wash out, even when laundered at medical grade temperatures in excess of 60ºC, therefore retaining its antimicrobial effect for the life of the product.

Eco-friendly

SILVERbac does not leach out and is permanently trapped, posing no threat to the environment. No additional water or harmful chemicals are used in the manufacturing process. Additionally products containing SILVERbac require less washing at lower temperatures, further supporting the care of the environment.

Invisible

SILVERbac has no adverse effect on the characteristics of a fabric. Some antimicrobial technologies impact surface touch and appearance and are unable to achieve a full spectrum of colours. Some also require process modifications including additional cure and yarn-dyeing which can increase costs. SILVERbac does not affect the touch or feel of the fabric and does not require any process modifications.

Proven

SILVERbac is one of the most efficacious antimicrobial technologies on the market, extensively tested and validated to medical grade standards by independent laboratories for medical grade standards.
