Alpes&Nanox: A partnership born in Germany.
HOW IT WORKS?
Until 2019, the deterioration of products by microorganisms, such as fungi, was the focus of companies in different sectors.
From 2020 on, with the coronavirus pandemic - a highly contagious virus, companies realized that their products needed to go beyond maintaining its quality with preservatives, but also promote safety to people, as studies indicated that even without a host, the viral material could be found on surfaces even after a few days .
This need provided Nanox with a unique opportunity, since the company has in its portifolio different formulations , from 100% inorganic actives to hybrid biocide systems that combine the best of preservation and protection for the applications.
WHERE DOES IT APPLY?

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.
-
