What are Silver Ions?
Silver ions are positively charged cations formed by silver atoms losing one or more electrons, which have an adsorption effect, in other words, they are. Usually in the form of aqueous solution, silver ions have oxidation effect, and are often used for sterilization and disinfection in daily life.
History of Silver Ions
Around 326 B.C., when the Greek Emperor Alexander led his army to the East, he was infected with tropical dysentery, and most of the soldiers fell ill and died, and the Crusade was forced to end. However, the emperor and his officers rarely contracted the disease.
Why is that?
This mystery has not been solved until modern times. It turned out that the dining utensils of the emperor and the officers were made of silver, and the dining utensils of the soldiers were made of tin. Silver can decompose a very small amount of silver ions in water, which can adsorb germs in the water, so that the enzymes that the bacteria rely on to breathe will lose their effect, thereby killing the germs.
In addition to the antibacterial effect, silver ions also have the effect of preventing or eliminating inflammation, which can help accelerate the recovery of infections caused by various interventional examinations and treatments, pre- and post-operative lesions.
At the same time, the weak current of silver ions can promote the differentiation and growth of fibroblasts, which are a common cell in the human body, and its unique function is to promote the repair and regeneration of skin tissue, and reduce the impact of aging on the skin.
Silver ions can be sterilized quickly, so what is the mechanism of its sterilization?
1. Bacterial protease reaction
More than 99% of harmful bacteria are single-cell bodies, and single-celled bacteria must rely on the oxidation of oxygen metabolism enzymes for respiration. Silver reacts with the sulfhydryl groups in bacterial proteases, and the proteases quickly lose their activity, resulting in bacteria being killed because they are unable to metabolize energy.
2. DNA binding
Silver can bind to the DNA base gene of the pathogen, and the silver bound to the DNA base gene forms cross-links with each other, resulting in the denaturation of the bacterial DNA structure and inhibiting DNA replication, resulting in the inability of bacteria to divide and reproduce, and inactivating the pathogen.
A scientist in the United States once conducted an experiment and treated 4.5 liters of sewage containing 7,000 E. coli per milliliter with a silver electric wrench for 3 hours, and all E. coli died. Typhoid bacteria only live for 18 hours on silver tablets, and diphtheria bacteria only live for 3 days.
The reason for the strong silver ion is that it can kill 650 kinds of germs and microorganisms, and has a highly effective antibacterial effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans at very low concentrations.
Will direct contact with the skin cause any harm to the body?
Many people can't help but worry that silver ions are heavy metals, and will direct contact with the skin be harmful to the body?
The reason why silver can kill bacteria without harming normal cells and flora is because most of the pathogenic bacteria are single-celled microorganisms, relying on proteases to maintain metabolism, among these proteases there is also an oxygen metabolism enzyme, Ag+ can strongly attract the sulfhydryl group (-SH) on the protease in the bacterial body, and quickly bind to it, further making the bacterial cells inactive due to protein, resulting in bacterial death.
Silver ion activity is just enough to destroy the original bacterial protein, and does not cause damage to complex tissue cells, so it is also widely used in skin disinfection.
Abang Sharp Silver Ion Antimicrobial Glass Particles release silver ions when dissolved in water.
Silver ions can directly enter the bacterium, so that the bacteria on the surface of the substance that has been in contact with the water are no longer active, so as to inhibit the growth and reproduction of a variety of bacteria and germs.
Abangrui is different from traditional industrial (chemical) preparation, using inorganic technology, non-damage, safe and non-toxic, adjusting the glass structure to achieve a stable way, evenly distributing and slowly releasing silver ions, so as to achieve a safe and antibacterial effect.
Abang Rui water-soluble antibacterial particles have been tested by a third-party authoritative organization, and are safe, with a sterilization rate of 99.99%.
Antibacterial and harmless silver ions, all in Abang Rui Silver Ion Technology.
