The Beijing Winter Olympics are in full swing. In addition to the splendid competitions, the preparations for this Winter Olympics are also very eye-catching. Among them, the most striking is the application of various high-tech elements.

Different from those AI black technologies such as cooking robots and automatic meal delivery, some black technologies are invisible and integrated into the basic necessities of life around athletes, such as silver ion antimicrobial technology.

According to the introduction of Anta, the brand of the Winter Olympics shirts, the shirts they built for the Olympic athletes all used silver ion antimicrobial technology, and the silver ion antimicrobial agent was melted into the recycled polyester fabric to protect the athletes from bacterial invasion. Under the current international situation where the epidemic is still severe, such antimicrobial uniforms will greatly improve the safety of athletes.

According to relevant research reports, silver ions have high oxidative properties and can combine with sulfhydryl groups on proteases in bacteria and fungi to change the permeability of the membrane, damage the DNA structure in the cytoplasm and inhibit its replication, and inactivate bacteria and fungi until they die.

Silver ions have effects on 650 kinds of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium sicca, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Aspergillus brasiliensis and Candida albicans. And it is famous for its unique strong anti-virus, bactericidal ability and safety.

The application and development of silver ions in various fabrics and textiles have been very mature. For example, most antimicrobial underwear uses silver ion antimicrobial technology. In addition, antimicrobial non-woven fabrics, antimicrobial wipes, antimicrobial towels, antimicrobial sportswear and other antimicrobial products also quietly Enter people’s lives and escort people’s health and safety. The antimicrobial function of silver ions is so powerful that we believe it will be used in more fields in the future.
