A highly efficient antimicrobial technology, whose mechanism of action is based on a catalytic reaction triggered by the interaction of two precious metals.
The cooperation between process engineers and microbiologists has led to the development of this break- through antimicrobial contact catalyst. A patented, specifically structured, and coated surface, conditioned by post-treatment, results in a highly antimicrobial surface that develops its superior efficacy through catalytically driven multiple redox pairs and a micro-electric field.
AGXX is a new highly efficient antimi- crobial technology whose mechanism of action is based on a catalytic reaction triggered by the interaction of two pre- cious metals. In the presence of atmospheric moisture, oxygen is converted into reactive oxygen species (ROS). The ROS kill all types of microorganisms by first destroying their outer membranes and then the organs and DNA of the microorganisms. The mechanism is based on a circular redox system, i.e., AGXX is not consumed but continuously regenerated. In addition, the micro-electric field present between the two noble metals interferes with important cell membrane functions, accelerating the killing of microorganisms.
