Technology and Safety
Less Stress on the Environment
SIS AM500 and SiS 7200 are the environmentally friendly and user friendly antimicrobial. These products contain no heavy metals, arsenic, tin or polychlorinated phenols. IDA addresses the two main ecological concerns associated with leaching antimicrobials: bleeding harmful toxins into the environment and the generation of adaptive organisms (superbugs) with AM 500.
What happens to SIS AM500 and SiS 7200 after a treated garment is thrown away or discarded?
A shirt treated with this technology and placed in a landfill will break down to basic components in about five years: carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and silicon dioxide (sand or quartz) from which it was derived.
The Obvious Choice
All antimicrobials are NOT created equal. It is important to understand the basic chemical, physical, and biological properties of an antimicrobial so the best choice can be made.
Because of its unique mode of action and inability to migrate from a treated surface, our technology is the obvious choice to minimize environmental contamination and the development of resistant organisms.
