What is N9 SLP-FRESH Technology?
N9 SLP-Fresh is an antibacterial protection technology for textiles made as a custom blend of USEPA registered Biocide, CERTEX-AM (EPA Reg. No. 87396-1).
How different is N9 SLP-Fresh Technology?
N9 SLP-Fresh was developed using the 4S criteria (simple, scalable, sustainable and stable) among which sustainability is the major differentiating factor.
How is N9 SLP-Fresh Sustainable?
To overcome the inherent imitations of Silver containing products in the market such as high loading and wash off into the environment, N9 SLP-FRESH was designed to contain low levels of Silver along with the personal care ingredients that boost the efficacy of Silver even at lower ppm. Low ppm levels of silver are proven optimum to deliver efficacy even after 100 home launderings reducing the washing requirement for the consumers making it environmentally sustainable.
What are the features of N9 SLP-Fresh?
● State-of-the-art technology using personal care ingredients
● Provides broad spectrum efficacy against bacteria
● ZDHC Level 1.0 certified, USEPA TSCA complaint
● Effective at low dosages
● Sustainable to the environment
How is N9 SLP-Fresh assessed for its antibacterial efficacy?
N9 SLP-Fresh treated textile articles are assessed using the standard antibacterial testing protocols such as AATCC 100: 2019 and JIS L 1902: 2015 / ISO 20743: 2021.
What is N9 SLP-201?
N9 SLP-201 is a Silver-organic component blend that when applied on textiles provide antiviral protection for textiles.
Why Textiles require Antiviral protection?
Antiviral protection on textiles prolongs the lifetime of the textiles as it reduces the bioburden on it.
How does it benefit the consumers?
Textiles is considered to be the top most skin layer for humans and it comes in contact with the infectious viral particles on its broader surface area. The viral particles get transferred between humans directly and indirectly on contact. The transfer of the infectious viral particles is prevented as it gets neutralized by the treated textile articles.
How does virus particles get neutralized by the N9 SLP-201 treatment on textiles?
The unsaturated fatty acids present in N9 SLP-201 quickly and specifically interacts with the viral envelope to initiate the action of Silver against it causing the complete disintegration of the viral particles.
How quick is the mechanism of action?
It is found to be rapid in action that it almost completely neutralizes the viruses (i.e., > 99.9999% efficacy) within 30 mins contact time.
