Description

Silver Zeolite is an advanced inorganic antimicrobial agent where silver ions are ion-exchanged into a stable zeolite framework. This compound is highly valued for its broad-spectrum, long-lasting biocidal properties and excellent thermal stability. It is a critical functional additive for manufacturers seeking to impart durable antimicrobial protection to plastics, textiles, coatings, and other materials. The product is identified by the CAS registry number 130328-18-6.

Application

• Antimicrobial Plastics and Polymers: Incorporated into polyolefins, PVC, polyurethane, and engineering plastics for medical devices, food packaging, household appliances, and consumer electronics to inhibit bacterial growth.
• Functional Textiles and Fibers: Used in the production of antimicrobial fabrics for medical textiles (gowns, drapes), sportswear, socks, home textiles (curtains, bedding), and air filters.
• Coatings and Paints: Formulated into antimicrobial coatings for high-touch surfaces in hospitals, schools, public transportation, and food processing facilities.
• Personal Care and Hygiene Products: An active ingredient in deodorants, soaps, and cosmetic formulations for its odor-control and preservative-enhancing properties.
• Water Purification and Air Filtration: Employed in filter media and purification systems to eliminate bacteria and pathogens from water and air streams.
• Agricultural and Animal Husbandry: Used in feed additives, silage wraps, and agricultural films to prevent microbial spoilage and disease.

Quality Control

Our Silver Zeolite is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent antimicrobial efficacy, silver ion content, particle size distribution, and chemical stability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as silver content (typically 2-5%), zeolite type, and microbiological performance are available upon request. We support compliance with relevant regulations for intended applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect flow properties and performance.
