BioShield Closure – Silver ion technology
BioShield Closure is an antimicrobial additive for plastics. Powered by “active ingredients,” such as silver ion technology, it is composed for usage in the injection molding process that makes the closure.
BioShield closure is scientifically verified to deliver long-lasting and practical protection against harmful bacteria, mold, fungi, and viruses, lowering the chance of staining, foul odors, and material degradation. Once injected into the plastic, silver ion antimicrobial additives will not leech from the surface, cause discoloration or affect the plastic’s clarity.
BioShield closure-protected product surfaces will:
Reduce bacteria by up to 99.99%
Even antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA, VRE, and CRE cannot survive on BioShield™ protected products.
Reduce cross-contamination, and increase shelf life.
A cleaner product means fewer microbes to transfer, ultimately reducing cross-contamination potential, resulting in a fresher and longer product life. Reduced potential for staining and unpleasant odors is an additional benefit from BioShield™.
Extended functional lifetime
Added during manufacturing, BioShield™ does not wear out or wash off, making it safe for various products that benefit from surface protection against microbes.
Effective against mold and viruses
BioShield™ resists the growth of all types of mold, including unsightly and unpleasant Aspergillus Niger.
How does BioShield™ work?
BioShield™ is introduced during the manufacturing process and becomes part of the product. It works continuously 24 hours a day, the product’s surface acting against any contaminating microbes in contact with it, causing them to diminish.
