Summary

A German SME invented a silver-coated textile that has antibacterial capacities. It is a patented system "made in Germany“ which can be used in drinking water depots/ tanks, in technical water circuits and other systems storing or transporting liquids. Therefore this product is especially interesting for firms looking to protect their drinking, industrial, production or cooling water from biological contamination. The company is offering agency , distribution and joint venture agreements.

Description

An owner-managed company, developed and patented a textile system that protects water and other liquids against biological contamination. This innovative product was developed in collaboration with an Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene and a University.

The textile system consists of yarn coated with metallic silver. The antibacterial properties of silver (silver ions) provide reliable protection against biological contamination. By means of silver ions, the disadvantageous increase of microorganisms in the water is to be prevented. It is a very low maintenance product. The system does not need an external power source. It is a patented product "Made in Germany".

The textile can be used to protect against biological contamination in drinking water depots of caravans, boats, trains, aircraft. Other areas of usage include:
- drinking water (fresh water storage, drinking water depots, drinking water tanks)
- industrial water (cooling water systems, open and closed cooling water circuits in industry and commerce, wet cooling towers, etc.)
- agriculture (cattle troughs and water depots)
- as a treatment substance in humidifiers, air conditioners, air cleaners/ air washers, dehumidifiers, cooling towers, recooling plants, evaporative cooling systems, ventilation systems
- other water systems (hospital hygiene, dental chairs, evaporation condensers, whirlpools, process water circuits, etc.)
