Silver Shell formulas have been proven to provide outstanding eradication of harmful bacteria, fungus, and viruses limiting cross-adaptation.

Silver Shell FR is a new finish in development that combines an advanced flame resistant formula with antimicrobial properties

The Advanced Silver Shell technology demonstrates remarkable antimicrobial efficacy and safety, setting a new standard for textile protection. The finishes also inhibit development of bacterial resistance via a multi-stage multi-modal attack on cell biological processes.

Advanced Silver Shell silver chitosan was improved with funding from a NIH NIAID grant award. This advanced formula contains significantly less silver than other silver antimicrobial finishes currently on the market.

Silver Shell finish poses no inhalation, ocular, oral, or dermal risk.

Treated textiles have withstood 75 commercial and home washes without a loss of efficacy. Treated textiles remain soft and supple to touch.

Over 50 efficacy tests on finished textiles have proven that our Advanced Silver Shell textile finish achieves a sustained kill of bacteria of 99.999% ( 5 log 10) or better. Independent laboratory testing at GMP and ISO registered facilities show effectiveness against a broad spectrum of harmful strains of bacteria and fungus. These include strains of greatest concern to health organizations: C-diff, E-coli, K. pneumonia, A. baumannii, Candida auris and Candida albicans, SARS CoV-2, Covid 19, MRSA, VRSA, VRE, ciprofloxacin resistant S. aureus, Gentamicin resistant P. aeruginosa, Salmonella, E. coli, and more.

Advanced Silver Shell prohibits fungal growth. In independent lab at Situ Biosciences, using the ASTM G-21 no fungus was observed after 72 hours. In wash studies silver was barely detectable in wash water. In Zone of Inhibition studies, a Zero Zone of Inhibition was observed. Both tests validate that leaching is greatly minimized.
