Canada based a world leader in antibacterial and antifungal treatments, Thomson Research Associates announced the introduction of Ultra-Fresh Silpure, the new generation silver-based antimicrobial treatment for textiles. Ultra-Fresh Silpure enables textile manufacturers to add superior odor and fiber-degradation resistance to their products through the use of a powerful antimicrobial substance – metallic silver.

Ultra-Fresh Silpure, the newest development in the Ultra-Fresh family of products, represents a breakthrough in the use of silver-based antimicrobials for the textile market. Ultra-Fresh Silpure is applied at the finishing stage for more complete protection of the fabric, and has been proven in tests to be consistently effective, with no tendency to cause discoloration.

The superior performance of this new generation silver-based antimicrobial has been achieved by combining application expertise developed over 50 years of Ultra-Fresh treatments with proprietary nanotechnology manufacturing processes for the metallic silver. The ultra-fine particles adhere more effectively to fibers for longer protection.

Ultra-Fresh Silpure has broken the cost barriers which have restricted the use of silver- based antimicrobials in the past.

A natural antimicrobial

Silver containers have been used to keep their contents pure for centuries. Investigations into the ability of metallic silver to inhibit the growth of bacteria began in the late 19th century.
