WHERE ELSE CAN TECHNOLOGY PROVIDE PROTECTION?

Whatever it is, Nanox makes it safer!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

It’s not hard to imagine structures and items with antimicrobial properties: from walls and floors (either coated or integral), to furniture (made of fibers, polymers, or metals), textiles and laminates (natural, synthetic, or blended), household utensils, and air or water filtration devices.
 
Many of these applications are already a reality. What separates others from becoming part of this scenario are three essential pillars for any project involving microorganism control: technical fit, efficiency, and economic feasibility.
 
For Nanox, which has already overcome the challenge of developing safe, food-contact-approved technologies, these projects are just the beginning of a meaningful conversation.

WHERE CAN IT BE APPLIED?

White and brown goods

Plastic components and coatings for appliances and electronics can incorporate antimicrobial additives. These additives prevent odors and biofilm formation in products like refrigerators and water dispensers, while also protecting surfaces of dispensers, handles, and buttons from microorganisms and viruses.

Air and water treatment

Air conditioning, ventilation, and heating equipment, as well as water purification systems, are prone to the proliferation of microorganisms that can pose health risks. The application of antimicrobials in these devices helps control pathogens, promoting well-being and quality of life.

Healthcare products and equipment

In medical and dental sectors, Nanox’s antimicrobial technology provides an added layer of protection against cross-contamination—a constant risk in hospitals, clinics, offices, and homecare environments. These additives help ensure maximum asepsis and safety in healthcare practices.

FAQ

How does Nanox’s antimicrobial technology work?
Nanox applies silver-based technology to materials, granting them antimicrobial properties. This creates a protective barrier that, upon contact with pathogens, works to deactivate them.
 
The silver technology operates by causing the precipitation of proteins and denaturing the cell membrane, resulting in a microbicidal effect.
Which microorganisms are targeted by Nanox’s antimicrobial technology? What does broad-spectrum protection mean?
Nanox’s technology provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection. Using silver as the active ingredient—a natural antimicrobial with well-documented effectiveness—the technology ensures wide-ranging action.
 
Through testing, the precise amount of material required to combat most pathogens is determined. These include viruses such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, CCoV, H1N1, and Adenovirus; bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella abony; and fungi, including Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
How durable are antimicrobial properties in additive-enhanced materials?
When Nanox’s antimicrobial solution is integrated during material production, the antimicrobial property becomes part of the material’s structure, lasting for the entire lifespan of the product.
 
In cases where the additive is applied as a coating, only the surface of the material gains microbicidal properties. Consequently, the antimicrobial action’s durability matches the lifespan of the coating.
Does the solution pose any risks to pets or children?

The product is applied in minimal quantities, ensuring it is non-toxic to animals and humans who come into contact with the material. Its action is effective exclusively against harmful microorganisms.

What are the possible applications of antimicrobial technology in the construction industry?

Nanox’s antimicrobial solution can be used on surfaces in coatings, such as glazes for tiles and in paints and varnishes, as well as within the core of materials, such as cement-based flooring products.

Are there any handling, maintenance, or cleaning practices that could compromise the antimicrobial Effect?

The technology is resistant to chemicals and high temperatures. As a result, cleaning products such as chlorine, bleach, and others are safe to use without affecting the antimicrobial action.

Are additive-enhanced materials effective in both indoor and outdoor environments?

Yes, the technology remains effective regardless of environmental factors, such as temperature changes, sun exposure, or contact with rain, ensuring reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor settings.
