Heraeus Precious Metals GmbH & Co. KG presents in the FILTECH Innovation Guide: Effective and regulatory-compliant antimicrobial protection of filter media with AGXX technology Heraeus Precious Metals is proud to present their AGXX technology – an environmentally friendly solution for #antimicrobial technologies #waterfilters are susceptible to contamination by microorganisms and #biofouling, posing a risk to both consumer health and the lifespan of the products. As regulations become stricter towards the release of potential hazardous compounds, particularly in Europe, it is increasingly challenging to effectively protect #filtermedia from microbial contamination in a regulatory-compliant manner, as the currently prevailing technologies based on the release of silver-ions are in the process of being banned by the regulatory authorities (ECHA). Conventional antimicrobial technologies, including silver-ion-based methods, rely on the release of #toxicsubstances. In contrast, the AGXX technology operates by catalytically generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) from ambient air and humidity. AGXX meets current regulatory requirements and provides an environmentally friendly solution... Find out more at: https://lnkd.in/d9uNqrjV
