SUPRLABS +VE is a permanent coating of 99,9% pure silver on a textile substrate or other formats. (foam, fabric, …) It retains all the characteristics of the substrate and hence can be used in any textile-related application with ease.
+VE is not a surface treatment. Silver is irreversibly bound to the substrate and becomes a physical part of the base material. +VE is permanently and chemically bonded and performance does not diminish over time. It has been tested by our clients for more than 100 washes with virtually no reduction in activity.
Our surface metalized technology gives the product the natural attributes of being anti-microbial, anti-static, anti-fungal and thermal. This product is a superior product in our product range. We offer both filament and staple fibers. +VE cannot be dyed as the silver is on the surface of the substrate.
+VE is a permanent coating of pure silver on to a textile substrate. It retains all the characteristics of the substrate and hence can be used in any textile-related application with ease.
+VE multiple added values benefits including thermal regulation in both warm and cold conditions.
+VE is also anti-static apart from the anti-microbial benefits.
Hence +VE is not a one-dimensional technology but a multi-dimensional, single delivery system.
SUPRLABS historical use of +VE
+VE has helped solve static problems in various applications for several years. Applications areas where the technology comes in constant contact with Human beings are:
Carpets, socks, t-shirts, pants, underwear, …
Wrist bands in clean room for anti-static purpose (Which is worn continuously for 8 hours at a time)
Clean room garments for anti-static purpose
SUPRLABS ionic technology: How +VE works?
Ionisation: Electron release of the silver “works on an intra-cellular level, disrupting the DNA of micro- organisms on the fabric and effectively suffocating microbial activity.”
Why +VE is so effective?
Catalysts. +VE becomes more effective in a specific environments, +VE as bacteria killer can be enforced by these special conditions.
Natural element: +VE is made with 99.99% pure silver, a naturally occurring element.
Anti-odor. The silver yarn inhibits the growth of odor producing bacteria. The silver ions also bind with ammonia and denatured proteins, resulting in bacterial odor reduction.
Electrostatic Charge Dissipater (including the Corona effect). Silver is the most electrically conductive element. The pure silver yarn in the product instantly dissipates naturally generated electrostatic charge and helps the end user to remain comfortable.
Thermo Regulation. Besides eliminating bacteria and odor, silver is thermally the most conductive and reflective element. Conduction, the primary cause of body heat loss in hot temperatures, is accelerated due to the conductivity of the fibre. +VE will help regulate temperatures. When used in sheeting, for example, it will help to keep the body cool in warm climates and warm in cool climates.
Permanent. +VE is not a surface treatment. Silver is irreversibly bound to a polymer as a physical part of the fiber. +VE is permanent and performance does not diminish over time. It been tested for more than 100 washes with virtually no reduction in anti-microbial performance.
Anti-fungal. +VE interferes with the reproductive sequence in fungal spore, which acts on the fabric structure to break down the textiles and reduce the functionality and performance of the fabric.
Anti-bacterial. +VE interferes on an intra-cellular level of the bacteria, disrupting the DNA of micro- organisms on the fabric and effectively suffocating microbial activity.
