How does Fosshield antimicrobial technology work?
The key to the effectiveness of Fosshield’s antimicrobial agent is the unique and balanced combination of silver and copper ions, embedded into the fiber. Moisture in the environment, the same moisture required for microbes to grow, initiates the release of silver and copper ions from the fibers. These ions disable the microbe’s metabolism, inactivating them. The minimum release rate ensures continuous antimicrobial protection for the life of the product.
