ATAMAN CHEMICALS’ Silver Ion Biocide is a preservative blend of Silver Chloride deposited on Titanium Dioxide in a liquid surfactant and water base.
Silver Ion Antimicrobial active: Aqueous dispersion of Silver Chloride on Titanium Dioxide.
Applications of our Silver Ion Biocide:
Our Silver Ion Antimicrobial Biocide is recommended as an antimicrobial agent for use in paints, plastics, films, paper, board, textile applications, hand gels, creams, etc. Silver Ion is effective against various microorganisms over a wide pH and temperature range.
The active silver chloride on TiO2 is stable up to 300°C, but due to the water content of Our Silver Biocide, the boiling point is 100°C.
The pH stability is in the range of 3 to 12.
Chemical compatibility;
Our Silver Biocide is compatible with most raw materials used to manufacture industrial products.
Our Silver Biocide should not cause color problems at typical use levels.
Care, however, should be taken to check the color stability of products when using Silver Ion Biocide.
Our Silver Ion Biocide can react with redox agents, reducing to metallic silver.
This can give rise to the rapid formation of a blue-grey-pink color.
Compatibility should always be checked and evaluated before use.
The activity is derived from a revolutionary inorganic composite that allows a slow release of antimicrobial silver ions.

Silver-based biocide
Silver and its compounds have been known to have extraordinary bacterium-inhibitory and bactericidal properties daily.
The silver ion exhibits broad-spectrum biocidal activity toward many different bacteria, fungi, and viruses and is believed to be the active component in silver-based antimicrobials.
One of the most beneficial uses of silver has been as a potent antibacterial agent that is toxic to fungi, viruses, and algae.
Silver Ion has low toxicity toward mammalian cells and does not easily provoke microbial resistance.
Nanometric silver particles(nano-Ag) prepared by various synthetic methods are effective antimicrobial agents.
Silver ion is used for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties in Healthcare products, e.g., textile materials.
Fiber containing silver and silver compounds are incorporated into finished textiles to produce antibacterial clothing.
Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are biocides that destroy viruses and bacteria in consumer products and medical devices.
They release bio-available Ag(I) ions, making them long-acting biocides.
Silver ion has been known to be a potent antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral agent.
Still, Silver Ion as a biocide in solution, suspension, and especially in nano-particulate form has experienced a dramatic revival in recent years.
Due to the properties of silver at the nano level, nanosilver is currently used in an increasing number of consumer and medical products.
The extreme antimicrobial activity is a significant reason for the recent increase in the development of products that contain nanosilver.
More than a quarter of the more than 1000 consumer products claiming nanomaterials contain nanosilver.
Examples of consumer products that contain nanosilver include food packaging materials, food supplements, textiles, electronics, household appliances, cosmetics, medical devices, water disinfectants, and room sprays.
Silver Ion has long been used as a disinfectant; for example, the metal has been used in treating wounds and burns because of its broad-spectrum toxicity to bacteria and its reputation of limited toxicity to humans.
Silver Ion is incorporated in textiles to inhibit bacteria growth and keep odor minimal.
Activated silver ions are toxic to bacteria and yeasts.
Silver Ion is toxic to bacteria at low concentrations (10−5 to 10−7 Ag ions per cell)
Silver nanomaterials are fine particles of metallic silver with at least one dimension less than 100 nm.
Nanosilver is not a new discovery; it has been known for over 100 years (USFDA, 2010).
Previously, nanosilver or suspensions of nanosilver were referred to as colloidal silver.
To produce colloidal silver, a positive electrical current is applied through pure silver bars suspended in water, resulting in colloidal silver particles with a size range of 15-500 nm.
Nanosilver also inhibits the multiplication and growth of those bacteria and fungi, which causes infection, odor, itchiness, and sores.
The unique properties of nanosilver are mainly attributed to the high surface area to volume ratio, leading many industrial sectors to incorporate silver nanomaterials into their products.
Nanosilver is incorporated in plastics, fabrics, paper, paint, and surface coatings.
Nanosilver is an effective killing agent against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains.
Anti-biofilm properties
Nanosilver inhibits the formation of biofilms.
Applications in Consumer Products
Nanosilver is one of the most widely used nanomaterials incorporated into consumer products.
Silver nanoparticles are used as antibacterial/antifungal agents in a diverse range of applications, including air sanitizer sprays, socks, pillows, slippers, face masks, wet wipes, detergent, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, air filters, coatings of refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, food storage containers, cellular phones.
Nanosilver can be found in personal grooming kits, female hygiene products, beauty soaps, cleansers, and fabric softeners.
Nanosilver spray mist products disinfect and deodorize surfaces in kitchens, bathrooms, and baby clothes.
It is used in cosmetics, lotions, creams, toothpaste, laundry detergents, soaps, surface cleaners, room sprays, toys, antimicrobial paints, home appliances, automotive upholstery, consumer electronics (e.g., cell phone covers), shoe insoles, brooms, food storage containers, tableware, slippers, and shoe liners.
Nanosilver is widely incorporated in textiles and fabrics such as outerwear, sportswear, underwear, socks, and bedding materials such as comforters, sheets, and mattress covers.
Meat processors also use silver-embedded tables, grinders, tools, refrigerators, and hooks.
Silver Ion is also used in specialty packaging, occupational clothing worn by food processing workers, and prevention of pathogen build-up in climate control systems and on the floors, walls, and ceilings of food processing and storage facilities.
When silver ions are integrated into polymer matrices to form nanocomposites or combined with other metal nanoparticles acting as a shell or core to form bimetallic nanoparticles, valuable properties are combined.
Nino-Martinez et al. (2008) report an enhancement in silver nanoparticles’ antibacterial activity when incorporated into an Ag/TiO2 nanocomposite.
Besides protection against bacteria, Silver ion also offers unique, natural, and wash-resistant indirect protection against dust mites.
Silver technology is especially suitable for bedding, mattresses, and home textile applications.
Especially where a high hygiene level is required, e.g., in hospitals and homes for the elderly and other healthcare facilities.
Antimicrobial Silver Ion protection helps improve freshness and support hygienic odor and freshness solutions for textiles.
Our silver ion polymer technology adheres to fiber surfaces for long-lasting antimicrobial textile protection.
When applied to a fabric, silver ion product is dilutable in textile treatment baths and forms an insoluble interpenetrating polymer network with silver ions.
Silver-based antimicrobials deliver silver particles to the fabric surface & rely on silver particle leaching or slow dissolution of poorly soluble silver salts to control bacteria.
