SMARTCELL
BİOACTİVE FİBER

FUNCTİONALİTY / FEATURES

In ancient times silver was used to disinfect water supplies. Our great-grandparents put a silver coin in water or milk to preserve their freshness. smartcelTM bioactive benefits from  the advantages of the bactericide silver on the basis of highly competent scientific testing.

 The effectiveness of silver is based on the release of so called ions, electrically charged positive elementary particles, These ions kill bacteria and viruses in a natural way by blocking their energy reproduction, i.e. microorganisms "starve" in a manner of speaking. Since no bacteria can develop, there is no decomposition process and thus no unpleasant smells.                                                                                                        

By integrating finely ground ion exchangers, large quantities of silver can be bonded into the smartcel TM functional fiber making it bioactive.High charging capacity and uniform distribution ensure extremely high efficiency.The silver content can be adapted precisely to each specific application,thereby permitting exact cost management.

CERTİFİCATES
 
                                                                                                                                                         smartcelTM bioactive provides high efficiency in its antibacterial effectiveness even after more than 80 wah cycles by 95°C. Its antibacterial action has been ceritifed by independent laboratories.The Research Institute Hohenstein certified smartcelTM bioactive's high antibacterial effectiveness.Dermatological tests by ProDerm of Hamburg have confirmed its excellent compatibility with skin and fabrics complying the requirements of EN ISO 10993. smartcelTM bioactive has also been included in the list of bioactive substances accepted by Eco-tex.
