How Does BioShield Work?

01- Silver has been used for millennia to reduce the effects of harmful pathogens, way back to Alexander the Great who transported water in silver vessels as away of keeping that water fresh.
02- Pure silver ionizes whether it’s wet or dry. When in contact with water or oxygen ions of silver are emitted and these ions are attracted to the charge on microbes.
03- The silver acts by effecting the respiratory and reproduction processes of the microbes and by altering the DNA.
04- These multiple assaults result in the reduction of microbes on surfaces and products powered by BioShield.
05- Because BioShield is encapsulated within the base polymer of products it will continue to be effective for the useful life of the products. It won’t be washed away during laundering and because it is encapsulated the look and feel of products is in no way effected.

Application in healthcare

BioShield is perfect in healthcare to provide additional protection against pathogens including MRSA and e-Coli
Small amounts of BioShield polyester fiber are blended with regular polyester or cotton and spun in to yarns.
The BioShield yarns are then woven in to the weft of the fabric providing antimicrobial protection in the whole product. Items may be dyed and finished as normal. BioShield protects your products when dry or when wet, always fighting to reduce the effects of microbes (99,99 %).
BioShield products are safe, long lasting, and comparable in price to non-antimicrobial products.
