Antimicrobial Flooring Technology

What is Antimicrobial?

In general, the term “antimicrobial” refers to any product or material imbued with actives that combat microorganisms, such as pathogenic microbes, through destroying or inhibiting its growth. And these actives can range from a variety of substances like inorganic silver antimicrobials.

As an active agent, the key features of inorganic silver antimicrobial include:

• It is adaptable to an array of materials in varying grades
• It offers high performance in low concentrations
• It keeps clear materials’ transparency
• It is heat resistant with a capacity greater than 500°C
• It provides high levels of safety
• Its performance is unhampered even after washing and in warm water environments

Inorganic silver antimicrobial works with the help of moisture, as it gradually reacts to the presence of microbes on the surface of the material, inhibiting enzyme activity and disturbing their electric balance. This reaction causes these microorganisms from multiplying by breaking the cell wall, effectively extinguishing the growth of bacteria.

Because of its key features, inorganic silver antimicrobial is used in a wide range of applications. From your daily necessities like in kitchen tools and utensils, to bathroom fixtures, electronics, automotive parts, fabrics and clothing, medical items, healthcare facilities, food manufacturing, cosmetics, and building materials, such as flooring.

What is Antimicrobial Flooring?

Given its key features, inorganic silver antimicrobial is the primary agent in our antimicrobial hardwood flooring. Our antimicrobial flooring products are based on silver ion active ingredients, which hinder the growth of microbes.

This antimicrobial flooring technology is rooted in scientifically proven research, designed to enable the manufacturing of hardwood flooring products that address particular microbial issues in any environment. At its core, our antimicrobial hardwood flooring keeps microbes from growing upon surface contact.
