HOW IT WORKS?

It is not difficult to imagine structures and items with antimicrobial properties. From walls and floors (covering or mass), furniture (in fibers, polymers or metals), fabrics to laminates (natural, synthetic or blends), utensils (in fibers, polymers or metals), filtering devices (air or water), etc.

Some of these applications already exist! For the many others, what still hold them apart from this reality are 3 pillars that structure a project that involves technology or control of microorganisms: technical fit, efficiency and economic-financial. This is a matter of chatting for a company like Nanox, which has already overcome the challenge of having a safe and approved technology for contact with food.

WHERE TO APPLY?

MAJOR APPLIANCES

Both the plastic parts and the coatings of major appliances can receive antimicrobial additives. The benefits range from preventing bad odor and biofilm formation (refrigerators, water dispensers, etc.) to protection against the risk of contamination by microorganisms (dispensers) and viruses (knobs and buttons), for example.

AIR AND WATER TREATMENT

Air conditioning, ventilation, heating and other equipment for air and water treatment are susceptible to the large formation of microorganisms that can bring serious health risks. The use of antimicrobials in these equipment, or parts, is an ally for the control of these pathogens, promoting well-being and quality of life.

Which microorganisms does the antimicrobial technology have efficiency in? What does broad spectrum protection mean?

The technology developed by Nanox, features broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection. Because it works with the active principle of silver, a natural antimicrobial with known efficiency, it promotes a wide action to the technology. Thus, relying only on tests to define how much material is needed to fight most pathogens such as viruses. Among them are SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, CCoV, H1N1, Adenovirus. Bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella abony, among others. In addition to fungi such as Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, among others.
Does the antimicrobial solution applied to fabrics pose any risk of allergic reaction when coming into contact with the skin?

Nanox's antimicrobial solution for textile application is dermatologically tested and approved. Thus, it does not induce any type of allergic reaction or skin irritation, as it is an effective and safe product.
Does the solution pose any health risks to animals and children?

The product is applied in low quantities. Thus, it is free to offer toxicity to beings that come into contact with the material, having effective action only against harmful microorganisms.
How does Nanox's antimicrobial technology works?

Nanox works with the application of silver technology in materials in order to provide them antimicrobial properties. It creates a protective barrier, which, when coming into contact with pathogens, acts to inactivate them. Silver technology acts to cause protein precipitation, denaturing the cytoplasmic membrane of the cell, thus having a microbicidal action.
What is the efficiency, durability and action time of the solution in fabrics for the inactivation of the Sars-Cov-2 virus?

The antimicrobial property of the fabric developed with the Nanox product has its durability equal to the entire life of the product, due to its shape that it is applied. Because it works from contact with pathogens, the material is able to inoculate 99.99% of the action of the Sars-Cov 2 virus in just 2 minutes of contact.
Where to find fabrics with Nanox technology?

Nanox has made several partnerships, which are very important in ensuring that fabrics truly with Nanox reach those looking for it. In this way, here's the companies that are registered on the technology website. Go to: https://www.agplusfresh.com/onde-encontrar

And in industries, what can be added with an antimicrobial?

The production line is a characteristic of industries and the risk of damage from contaminated batches can be mitigated. Highlighting those that process products that will be ingested or that may deteriorate due to microorganisms, it makes sense to apply the technology. Utilities and utensils, for example, containers (or boxes) and instruments that come into contact with food (knives, counters, etc.). It is also possible to apply it to equipment (mats, etc.), in order to also enhance its hygiene. Even employees' PPE's can receive the technology (gloves, aprons, etc).
