Antibacterial Properties
BioKab's Polyethylene is impregnated with Ciba® IRGAGUARD®B5120 which is an inorganic broad spectrum antimicrobial.
IRGAGUARD has been shown to be active against Gram-positive, Gram -negative bacteria, mold and yeast cultures. It is also non toxic, having a high heat resistance up to 800 ºC.
IRGAGUARD is highly effective and stable; it does not vaporize nor decompose and has also shown a very long life efficacy.
Silver Ion is the active ingredient in IRGAGUARD and is absorbed by the germ and works by interfering with the cell membrane causing the cells to leak and eventually break up. Silver Ion also binds to the DNA of the cell disrupting the replication process.
