What is Aantibacterial?
The human body is an ideal growth environment for microorganisms, and the human body contains countless organisms under normal conditions. Textiles will contact the human body during use, sweat, sebum, and other human secretions, which provide essential nutrients for the existence, growth, and reproduction of microorganisms.
At the same time, the porous structure of the textile also facilitates the adhesion of microorganisms. Microorganisms such as pathogenic bacteria are attached to the skin, respiratory tract, and blood to cause harm to human health and even cause dermatitis and various other infectious diseases.
Natural anti-microbial ingredients in textiles or artificially added anti-microbial ingredients to fabrics make them have anti-microbial functions.
Four Mechanisms of Antibacterial Textiles
Metal Ion Contact Reaction Mechanism
Metal ion penetrates the cell wall and enters the bacteria to react with the amino groups on the bacteria’s protein. The microorganism’s protein center is destroyed, causing the organism’s death or losing the ability to divide and proliferate.
Catalytic Activation Mechanism
Trace metal elements such as silver, titanium, and zinc can absorb environmental energy (ultraviolet light), activate oxygen in the air or water, and generate active cations. They cause proteins and fatty acids in microbial cells to react with them and destroy typical structures, causing them to die or lose their ability to reproduce.
Cation Immobilization Mechanism
The cell wall and cell membrane are composed of double phospholipid molecules, which are negatively charged under neutral conditions. Microbes are easily attracted by the cations on the antibacterial material, reducing the microbes’ activity, inhibiting their respiratory function, and causing them to contract and die.
Intracellular Lysate Damage Mechanism
Organic antibacterial agents can destroy the structure of microorganisms such as protein and nucleic acid and cause destructive damage to microorganisms’ physiological systems to achieve the purpose of antimicrobial.
Our Advantage
Our company has been fully certified and strictly screened and uses the principle of silver ions to pierce the bacterial cell wall. Silver ion antibacterial agent is an antibacterial agent that can contact the skin and can be used in various textiles, especially synthetic fibers.
Silver ion antibacterial quilt covers, antibacterial bedspreads, antibacterial pillowcases (including antibacterial bedding sets), antibacterial pillows have the following characteristics:
- The material treated with silver ion is safe for humans and the environment.
- It has an inhibitory effect on most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including
- Efficient functionality can effectively inhibit the formation of bacteria and odors.
- Acts on the cell membrane to prevent the function of microorganisms.
- It can prevent the respiration of bacteria and the necessary nutrients.
- Does not contain organic halogens (AOX).
- Meet the Oeko-Tex100 standard.
