SILVERPLUS\u00ae transfers the element silver into a silver compound which has been applied to microstructured substrates by means of highly innovative coating procedures.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”padding-top-60″]CONTACT US<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”padding-bottom-60″][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”276″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”font-size-20″][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

One gram of microstructured SILVERPLUS\u00ae active ingredient has a superficial area of ca. 600,000 cm\u00b2. The advantage of the enlargement of the superficial area is that the consumption of resources can be minimised by the factor 100 compared with metallic silver. At the same time, the effects are maximised, similar to the mode of action of platinum in automotive exhaust catalysts. Due to this highly innovative procedure a virtually infinite deposit is created from which highly effective positive silver ions are set free in small (some ppm) exactly dosed quantities whenever needed, i.e. in the presence of moisture.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Due to the triple effect mechanism of SILVERPLUS\u00ae many odour-causing bacteria cannot adapt to the effect of silver ions. The antimicrobial effect of the natural element silver is exclusively based on free silver ions. Due to a triple effect mechanism, silver ions with a positive charge have bacteriostatic effects. SILVERPLUS\u00ae is, therefore, capable of contributing to stopping odour-causing bacteria to thus prevent infections in clinics and hospitals, which are e. g. caused by the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus strain (MRSA), from being transmitted*. (*This is not approved by the EPA and hence not valid for the USA.)<\/p>\n

ECOLOGY<\/h2>\n

Fresh textiles even at low washing temperatures<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Ecological textile care for the 21st century<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over their entire life span, significant amounts of energy for washing, tumble drying, ironing or mangling textiles are necessary in the professional or household textile care. The consumption of water and detergent is considerable and exceeds many times the quantities necessary for the textiles\u2018 production. With an increasing world population we will have reached our limits soon. Integral system optimisation is thus imperative.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SILVERPLUS\u00ae ecology: fresh textiles even at low washing temperatures \u2013 less energy consumption and better CO2 balance<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Extraordinary resistance to washing and dry cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to its micropigmentation SILVERPLUS\u00ae anchors to textiles by itself in a resistant to washing and dry cleaning manner without the addition of chemical binder or adhesive systems.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SILVERPLUS\u00ae for example deposits in the yarn interstices and is permanently bonded to the substrate due to strong attractive forces. This procedure is comparable with the deposit of soot particles, which, even after repeated wash cycles, cannot be removed by standard detergents.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”padding-block-60″][vc_column_text]Be on good terms with nature<\/strong><\/p>\n

The use of SILVERPLUS\u00ae has been shown to have no negative effects on the environment. The quantities of silver which SILVERPLUS\u00ae returns to nature (ppb range) correspond to the average natural silver content of natural soil or rocks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SILVERPLUS\u00ae safeguards resources<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SILVERPLUS\u00ae does not waste important resources, i.e. the antimicrobial active free silver ions; but only uses them if necessary. Free silver ions dispose of extensive antimicrobial effects. Thus even small SILVERPLUS\u00ae quantities are sufficient to permanently control odour-causing bacteria in textiles.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”padding-block-60″][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

APPLICATION<\/h2>\n

Simple application reduces costs<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Cost reduction by universal application, especially in the exhaust method<\/strong><\/p>\n

Usually, the costs of textile finishing are not caused by the finishing product, but rather by additional processing costs due to its application. Even though SILVERPLUS\u00ae is a high-priced finishing agent, costs will not sky-rocket.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SILVERPLUS\u00ae products are extremely suitable for the exhaust method, because they do not require a costly binder system. Thus, SILVERPLUS\u00ae products can be easily applied by the exhaust method in initial textile finishing or in post-finishing, such as laundries. This approach makes the textile finishing market extremely flexible and leaves the decision on hygienic and fresh finishing open until making up the final article.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SILVERPLUS\u00ae can be incorporated in any step of initial textile finishing. An energy-intensive separate run, as with many conventional antimicrobial systems, is not necessary. Thus, a sales-promotional, functional additional value is created. SILVERPLUS\u00ae is profitable – also from an economic point of view, especially with \u00aeRUCO-BAC AGL.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”padding-block-60″][vc_column_text]Quality and performance: No additional. quality diminishing binder system necessary<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The use of a binder\/adhesive system for heat-setting SILVERPLUS\u00ae in a resistance to washing and dry cleaning manner is not necessary.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Binder\/adhesive systems, as offered for other silver-based product systems, have the following disadvantages:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most binder systems can only be applied by padding. The silver finish remains inapplicable to textiles that can only be finished by the exhaust method. Binder systems have to be additionally cured at higher temperatures. A change of the white shade or colour has to be taken into account.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Binder systems require a separate run under curing conditions, which increases the production costs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For obtaining fresh effects ordinary drying is sufficient to embed SILVERPLUS\u00ae in the fibre interstices. Depending on the combination with other finishing variants or process steps in dyeing or finishing, curing\/setting temperatures can be used without effect losses[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
