PRESERVATION + SAFETY

Nanox offers cutting-edge technology to extend the shelf life of fresh and processed products while preventing cross-contamination.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Antimicrobials can be applied both through polymer incorporation and surface coating, providing varying levels of protection.
 
The fungicidal application preserves the material, while the bactericidal and fungicidal effects extend the shelf life of the contents. Additionally, the virucidal component enhances surface safety for the user.
 
Nanox’s technology is versatile, allowing the antimicrobial solution to be adapted to different materials. This ensures comprehensive protection while increasing the safety and durability of products in everyday use.

WHERE CAN IT BE APPLIED?

Plastic

Rigid and flexible packaging can incorporate antimicrobial technology to protect products and provide enhanced safety for users. This application improves durability and reduces the risk of contamination.

Metal (cans) and glass packaging

With the addition of antimicrobial coatings, these surfaces gain an extra layer of microbiological protection, ensuring greater safety when in contact with stored products.

Paper and cellulose

Nanox technologies applied to paper and cellulose packaging increase product durability and provide greater safety for consumers, promoting more efficient and sustainable packaging solutions.

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.
