IRGAGUARD B 5000
Zeolite
Silver-Zinc-Zeolite
IRGAGUARD B 5000 is an inorganic Silver Zeolite based antimicrobial inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, mold and yeast.
The product can be processed at temperatures > 500'C. Zeolites are crystalline Aluminosilicates with fully cross-linked open framework structures.
The framework has a negative charge, which is balanced by cations such as Sodium, Silver, etc. These cations are mobile and exchangeable by e.g. H/H2 O.
Special Zeolite design allow for controlled Silver-ion release.
The bioavailability of silver ions is critical to the antimicrobial efficacy.
IRGAGUARD B 5000 has been optimized for Polyolefins such as PP (homo, copo), HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE.
Key areas of applications are injection & rotational molding applications, film applications,
air conditioning, sanitary accessories (i.e. tooth brushes, toilet seats), appliances, hospital
supplies and others.
