SmartSilver™ | Certified Antimicrobial Performance

SmartSilver is a certified, EPA-registered antimicrobial performance brand for a unique line of nanoscale silver additives created by NanoHorizons Inc., a leader in practical nanotechnology for commercial, consumer, and industrial products. Silver is a natural antimicrobial. Simply put, microbes—germs—can’t survive in the presence of silver ions. The larger the surface area of silver particles is, the more silver ions are generated, and the more unwanted microbes are eliminated. That’s exactly what SmartSilver’s nanotechnology enables. And because SmartSilver’s nanotechnology also produces silver particles that bind at the molecular level, SmartSilver protection is permanent. It doesn’t wash out. It doesn’t wear off. It doesn’t get diluted or neutralized. It keeps working as it was designed to work for as long as the product exists.

NanoHorizons developed the SmartSilver brand in collaboration with leading manufacturers to provide silver’s antimicrobial attributes to products in the medical, apparel, and household goods industries. Products enhanced with SmartSilver offer a cost effective, durable, safe and, efficacious solution for improving health outcomes, enhancing personal wellness and comfort, and bettering product preservation--a significant value proposition to both manufacturers and consumers alike.

While some antimicrobial treatments can only be applied to certain products at a certain point in the manufacturing process, or can drastically change the characteristics of the finished product, Smart Silver performance requires no such compromises. It is integration-ready, works invisibly and safely, and provides an antimicrobial protection unmatched in the marketplace for a wide variety of products. SmartSilver-enhanced garments stay fresh for the life of the garment. Foam and laminates protected by SmartSilver resist odors and bacteria that can cause degradation. Coatings and finishes built with SmartSilver protection prevent the growth of microbes and mildew. Hospital bedding that incorporates SmartSilver additives helps control infections. Only products that show true performance under real-world conditions are certified to carry the SmartSilver name.
