Silver’s antimicrobial properties prevent bacterial and fungal contamination as well as stains, odours, and deterioration in the manufacture of polymer emulsions, sealants, adhesives, plastics, paints, latex products, coatings, and more.
Material Preservation
Micro-organisms can cause surface deterioration. Vulnerable areas include bathrooms and kitchens, or the inside of white goods that are in regular contact with moisture. The results of deterioration vary, but often result in discolouration due to mould formation. Incorporating silver into these surfaces creates mould resistance, which reduces the need to use other forms of chemical cleaning and ultimately increases the lifetime of goods, thereby contributing to product sustainability.

Silver is widely recognised as an ideal choice for material preservation applications due to its durability, low toxicity, non-sensitizing performance, and minimal environmental impact.
