Functional Textiles
Chitozan Health's patented Silver Shell compound is used to create an advanced antimicrobial textile finish that aids in maintaining healthy skin. Silver Shell textile finish has been independently tested to withstand up to 75 home washes and 20 commercial wash cycles with bleach and not loose efficacy. Tests prove it does not shed or flake during use.
Lab tests prove that it does not loose its efficacy over time. And, now there is evidence that wearing treated clothing may improve the health of individuals with atopic dermatitis and eczema by as much as 43%.
Healthcare Textiles
Medical Settings
Silver Shell textile finish is laboratory tested on fabrics to eradicate a broad spectrum of bacteria, viruses, and fungal pathogens. Our finish withstands commercial and home washing, does not shed, and does not noticeably alter the appearance of colored fabrics. Recommended uses include bed linens, curtains, garments, and cleaning towels.
Medical drapes cause many healthcare acquired infections by harboring transmissible diseases. Silver Shell treated privacy curtains kill and disable bacteria, viruses, and fungus reducing the possibility of infection transmission.
Silver Shell treated drapes kill MRSA
in under an hour. They also kill VRSA, VRA, Candida Auris, Candida albicans, E-coli, C-diff, the flu virus, K. pneumonia, and antibiotic resistant Staph, and antibiotic resistant Psudomonus aeruginosa. AS a broad spectrum antimicrobial Silver Shell offers multi drug resistant protection against Urgent and Serious Threats listed as greatest concern by the CDC and WHO.
Water Filtration
After 24 hours of continuous filtration Silver Shell textile finish killed 99.99% of e-coli in a recent laboratory trial when applied to a water filtration media. Use of a Silver shell treated water filter may allow a reduction of chlorine in order to maintain bacteria free water. With the price of chlorine treatment on the rise a Silver Shell filter will be beneficial in reducing costs while improving safety.
Military and Outdoor Clothing
Rugged Use
Laboratory tested for its strong bonding action, Silver Shell won't flake or shed from fabrics under tough windy or wet conditions. Silver Shell is lab tested to maintain efficacy making them ideal for use in military, emergency response, and rugged outdoor use.
It is also known that chitosan treated garments can aid in maintaining a healthy skin profile.
Silver Shell is also part of treatment regimen for battling parasitic skin diseases. In an independent test lesmaniasis parasites were eradicated by a Silver Shell treatment. Any parasite with a chitin exoskeleton can be eradicated with Silver Shell serum and treated garments.
