How It Works
Silver is a well-documented antimicrobial, shown to inhibit bacteria, fungi and certain viruses. BioGarde uses silver’s natural antimicrobial properties to destroy the microbes that come into contact with the fabric by piercing their cell wall.
Through a manufacturing process unique to us, we create a permanent, embedded and non-leaching coating of silver particles onto the textile. The revolutionary antiviral and antibacterial BioGarde is ‘baked’ into the yarns by specialised machines during the manufacturing process. This coating inhibits bacteria the same way as it inhibits viruses — due to its advanced technology, it protects against unwanted bacteria that causes unpleasant odour.
Because our method leaves the silver durably bonded to fabric, BioGarde is stable, non-soluble and washer/dryer-resistant.
In certain work environments bacterium can develop.
The Bacterium docks on the BioGarde Silver (Ag) coating.
The Bacterium is damaged or destroyed by the Silver (Ag).
Because our method leaves the silver durably bonded to fabric, BioGarde is stable, non-soluble and washer/dryer-resistant.
BioGarde is a high-grade improvement on existing silver technology from Switzerland. It is engineered to withstand the rigours and hard-wearing demands of continuous-use uniforms and fabrics while guaranteeing an antimicrobial barrier throughout the life-span of the item.
BioGarde is the only fabric we know of globally that is still effective against coronavirus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli after 100 washes.
