ANTIMICROBIAL FILM – PURE ZONE® RANGE
THE ANTI-MICROBIAL ACTION OF SILVER IONS
luxuryglasstinting
In its (elemental) metallic form, silver is inert and does not kill bacteria.
Silver atoms (written as Ag or Ag0) must lose an electron and become positively charged silver ions, Ag+.
Silver is ionised in air, but above all in a humid environment.
Silver ions are highly reactive and affect multiple sites in bacterial cells, guaranteeing their destruction.
