Silver ions are positively charged cations formed by silver atoms losing one or more electrons, usually in the form of aqueous solutions. Silver ions have an oxidizing effect and are often used in daily life for sterilization and disinfection.

Silver is one of the trace elements in human tissues, and trace amounts of silver are harmless to humans. According to the latest WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality, fourth edition, drinking water with a concentration of silver ions below 0.1 ppm will not cause adverse effects on humans.

There are several theoretical hypotheses about the disinfection mechanism of silver, including the role of metal ions, photocatalysis, etc., but none of them has been fully proven. Modern research points out that the chemical structure of silver determines its high catalytic capacity, and the reduction potential of silver in its highly oxidized state is high enough to generate atomic oxygen in its surrounding space.

Atomic oxygen has strong oxidizing property can sterilize, and Ag+ can strongly attract the sulfhydryl group (-SH) on the protease in the bacterial body, and quickly combine with it to make the protease inactive, leading to bacterial death. When bacteria are killed by Ag +, Ag + and then free from the bacterial body, and then contact with other colonies, week after week to carry out the above process, may be the reason for the persistence of silver sterilization. It is measured that the water containing Ag + 0.01ppm, it can completely kill the water bacillus, can maintain up to 90 days without reproducing new clumps of bacteria. It was also found that silver ions can cause the death of viruses by coagulating their protein molecules and binding the electron donor on their DNA molecules.

In the 21st century, a technological breakthrough in the production of electrolysis in Japan finally made it possible to produce electrolytic silver ion solutions with concentrations up to hundreds of ppm and with high purity and stability. It broke the market situation that only a single variety of silver ion was available in the market with nanosilver, making the universal use of silver ion antibacterial agent is possible. The silver ion solution made by the electrolysis method has no carrier of nano-silver and contains simple and pure ingredients without impurities. It can be used for disinfection of skin and mucous membrane in direct contact with the human body and environmental disinfection. The highly concentrated silver ion solution is colorless, tasteless and transparent, easy to process and store and transport.

Water purification field

Germany first research and development of copper and silver ion treatment of water technology has been quite mature, in Europe, America and Japan have been widely used in the field of swimming pools, and is a new generation of pool treatment technology leader. As the metal ion treatment method uses pure physical disinfection, no harmful by-products are produced after treatment, the water quality meets the EU standards, very low concentration can kill most autotrophic bacteria, has a very long-lasting bactericidal ability, not affected by light and organic concentration, because the whole process does not produce waste gas waste and has been recognized and recommended by the EU Environmental Protection Agency. More than half of the international airlines already use silver water filters. The water in swimming pools in many countries is also purified with silver. Unlike the use of chemicals, this purified water does not irritate the skin and eyes of swimmers.

Skincare field

1. Fully replace skin care products containing chemical antiseptic additives, greatly reducing the damage and adverse effects of antiseptic additives on the skin.
2. Make the content material of skin care products more vivid and pure, which can give full play to the nourishing, beauty, moistening, whitening and anti-aging effects of skin care products and significantly extend their service life.
3. Promote the healing of skin wounds and increase the repair function of damaged cells.
4. Effectively improve the nourishing penetration effect of skin care products, and facilitate the absorption of nutrients into the skin.
5. Skincare products with silver ionic liquid are naturally equipped with active defense function against bacteria and thus directly inhibit bacteria from attacking the skin. Many of the discomforts caused by bacteria damage to the skin and body mucous membrane tissues, such as skin allergies, inflammation, unpleasant body odor, facial sores, dandruff, etc., will be solved.

In short, the wide application of silver ionic liquid in skin care products will definitely bring revolutionary changes to skin care products and healthy cosmetics, which will become the most intimate partner and assistant of human beings in modern life. In the face of increasingly complex and harsh ecological and living environment, the threat of unknown viruses and super bacteria, the use of silver ionic liquid in healthy cosmetics, in the process of use with different ways, methods and various skin types, environmental experience, will certainly bring us constant surprises and more valuable development.

Daily necessities field

1. Mouthwash containing silver ions can treat mouth ulcers (doubtful), be careful not to drink it. Silver ion toothbrush can relieve gum swelling and pain, cleaning efficiency, silver ion toothpaste in addition to the role of friction agent, fragrance, but also has a pharmaceutical effect: treatment of bleeding gums, loose teeth, alveolar bone atrophy.
2. Silver ion shampoo, which can effectively control hair follicle grease, prevent hair loss and have strong decontamination ability.
3. clothes, towels, rags and other commonly used textiles, textiles is an important medium for the infection of pathogenic bacteria, in use is easy to stain a lot of sweat, water, but also easy to be stained by various impurities in the environment, this dirt in humid and high-temperature conditions to bring a good environment for microbial reproduction, pathogenic bacteria microorganisms continue to multiply on the fabric, and even produce odor. The human body will be infected with skin disease, and serious and even life-threatening health, antibacterial textiles have become a worldwide development trend. The application of silver ions to textiles can sterilize, purify, deodorize, and have a healthy and hygienic life.
4. Silver silk socks, containing silver-plated fibers, can inhibit the reproduction of bacteria and prevent tinea pedis and smelly feet.
5. Warm water washing type commode, ultra-smooth ceramic, ceramic also contains silver, with the slow release of silver ions and play antibacterial effect.
6. Silverware has a health effect, with silver water cup tea, can kill poison, sterilization, beauty, improve human immunity, promote human health. This herbal compendium says silver has the efficacy of “stabilizing the five organs, fixing the mind, curing palpitations, strengthening the bones, and brightening the eyes”.
7. Women’s health care products, such as: silver ion panties, sanitary napkins with antibacterial, odor, magnetic therapy and other effects, to relieve dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, premenstrual syndrome, can prevent and alleviate gynecological diseases. It is not only a necessity, but also the best product for women’s health care.

Medical field

Silver is a natural antibacterial material that has been used by human beings for thousands of years. Silver has a wide antibacterial spectrum and is not easily resistant to drugs. Due to its high price, silver was first replaced by thiamine, then penicillin, then antibiotics. However, the use of antibiotics has accelerated the evolution of bacteria. Silver can reduce the bacterial load on the wound surface, allowing faster healing and treatment of infection. Silver ions can be used in wound dressings, infusion tubes, etc. It is mainly used to treat chronic wounds and is commonly used for post-surgical injuries and repairs.
