Interaction of these ions with microorganisms causes disruption of cell wall permeability, resulting in nutrient uptake failure. Also, metal ions bond to various parts of the cell, such as the DNA and RNA, cellular proteins and respiratory enzymes, causing all life support systems in the cell to be immobilized. As a result, cellular growth and cell division are impacted, causing the microbes to no longer multiply and eventually die out. The ion release also leads to an increase in osmotic pressure which creates an environment not suitable for microbes.The metal ions are known to possess antiviral effects by disrupting the viral coating and destroying its RNA. The product is non-toxic and noncorrosive in nature A combination of metal ions is released; this overcomes issues relating to resistance of microbes to individual metals (e.g., silver resistance) The patent for this technology is currently awaiting grant in India. We are open to partnerships with companies to further develop the technology and bring it to the global markets. Please reach out to us if you would like to find out more about this pioneering technology and how it can be incorporated in your products!
