Our Innovation
-
Device for disinfecting re-circulating water system utilizing new biocidal silver composite, Using a new materials-technology which enables the entrapment of organic biocidal compounds within biocidal silver, resulting in a powerful antibacterial composite: SilverPlus.
-
The new silver composites are more effective than silver alone and their material properties make them particularly suitable for the use in the disinfection of closed loop re-circulating water systems and for potable water in emergencies.
Applications
-
Applications in industrial water systems (hot and cold ), hot water systems for institutional buildings, swimming pools, Aquaculture
Key Features
-
New antibacterial compositions based on common active substances
-
Controlled release of the organic biocidal agents which are entrapped in silver
-
Synergetic microbiocidal activity
-
Reduced environmental fingerprints and burdens
-
Residual disinfection capabilities in the treated water systems
Development Milestones
-
Seeking industry cooperation for commercialization and funding for ongoing research and development
