Frequently Ask Questions

AggreCoat™ Silver is based on silver-ion technology which works in three distinct ways to inhibit the growth of bacteria and microbes.

Firstly, AggreCoat™ Silver stops cell membrane transfers when silver Ion binds to the cell wall and to membrane proteins. They block the protein-based transfer of critical substances into and out of bacterium.

Secondly, AggreCoat™ Silver disrupts the energy production processes of the bacterial cell once inside the bacterium.

Lastly, AggreCoat™ Silver halts the microbe reproduction by interacting with bacterial DNA. Silver Ions disable the cell’s ability to divide and propagate more of themselves.

It is unlike chemical agent such as a disinfectant which evaporate, AggreCoat™ Silver adheres where the silver ion technology continues to work

AggreCoat™ Silver is proven to inhibit the growth of bacteria by up to 99.99%.

It also destroys many other types of harmful microorganisms, such as viruses, fungi and moulds.

AggreCoat™ Silver is proven to inhibit the growth of SARS-CoV-2 by up to 95.3%.

AggreCoat™ Silver has been tested multiple times by independent laboratories and proven to be effective at a rate of 99.99% against bacteria microbes, and at 95.3% against SARS-CoV-2.  All testing has been conducted to ISO standards by Europe’s top independent laboratory, as well as SGS Hong Kong.

All testing has been done by independent and internationally recognized laboratories, giving you the assurance and peace of mind that the technology works and is safe to use.

Unlike a disinfectant that kills bacteria immediately, but only temporarily, AggreCoat™ Silver typically works within 20 minutes of application to effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and remains a long-lasting protected surface from 2 hours onward.

It then continues to working effectively 24/7, serving as the ideal complement to your normal cleaning regimen.

Yes. The antimicrobial ability of silver has a history for thousands of years as an agent to protect and otherwise maintain purity and freshness. Silver is not toxic to humans. Silver ion technology is used in many applications around the world including, medical, food and water applications.

Yes, you do. AggreCoat™ Silver can’t clear dirt and dust, only cleaning will do that. AggreCoat™ Silver works to keep the invisible bacteria at bay, thereby keeping you and your loved ones safer from risk of virus and infection.

Antimicrobials and antibacterial are interchangeable terms, both provide protection against bacteria, however, the way that they work is different.

An antimicrobials inhabit the growth against a broad range of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and moulds, whereas an antibacterial is specifically targeted to prevent the growth of bacteria. Both will inhibit the growth of, and destroy, bacteria.

Some types of bacteria are beneficial to us, and necessary for our bodies and environment, this is because we need exposure to bacteria to enable our immune systems to grow and strengthen.

It would be impossible to eliminate all bacteria, even if we wanted to, so when it comes to harmful bacteria such as campylobacter, E.coli, salmonella and listeria, it makes sense to manage our exposure, especially in environments and products in contact with vulnerable people including children, the elderly, the sick or infirm.

That’s where AggreCoat™ Silver antimicrobial technology comes in, reducing the background level of bacteria and ensuring cleanliness and hygiene in between your routine cleans.

AggreCoat™ Silver has been tested for Antiviral ISO 21702:2019 standard against SARS-COV-2_COV2019 viral strain, showing reductions of 82.22% after 6 hours, when compared to a control, and 95.32% after 24 hours.

Silver nano-particles (AgNPs) are well known for their excellent antibacterial ability. However, they consist of very small particles which can be easily transferred into the environment.

All nano particles are considered toxic to humans. Because of their small size they can pass through skin cells. Many countries have banned nano technology due to on-going safety concerns about the use of such small particles.

By comparison, the very smallest silver ion particle is more than twenty times bigger than the largest nano particle and does not pose any threat to humans or the environment. Essentially, size matters. This is why AggreCoat™ Silver does not use any form of nanotechnology in its antimicrobial additives because of these safety concerns.
