HeiQ AGS-20, a silver-silica nanocomposite containing silver nanoparticles imbedded in a matrix of amorphous silicon dioxide - 0000-000-00

Key Functions: Food Contact & Additives, Industrial / Manufacturing, Textile Applications

Silver is an EPA registered active ingredient in numerous pesticide products, including antimicrobial treated textiles. NSF recently performed a GreenScreen™ assessment to characterize the hazards of inorganic, low solubility nanosilver in textiles. In the present report, NSF performs a GreenScreen™ assessment on conventional (low-solubility, non-nano) silver for comparison.
