Glad you asked. AlphaSan® is an antimicrobial additive that utilizes the natural power of silver to protect a wide variety of products against bacteria, fungus, mold, and other microbes.
On untreated surfaces, bacteria can reproduce and continue reproducing, causing foul odors, discoloration, corrosion, etc.
On surfaces treated with AlphaSan® technology, bacteria are still present. However, they get a dose of silver ions. The silver ions interfere with their metabolism, and the bacteria are history.
The natural power of silver, first of all. Plus the proven, patented technology of Milliken. Put the two together and you get superior antimicrobial performance in the form of plastics, fibers, foams, and coatings. The result is a product which is effective, durable and safe-to-handle*.
