HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS
Silver colloids are widely used in household chemicals mainly due to long-term biocidal and fungicidal properties.
Most cleaning and refreshing agents do not contain substances that, when the surfaces dry, build an antibacterial or antifungal coating. By enriching cleaning products with concentrated colloids, products perceived as one of many on the market can be positioned as new and improved, and thanks to the enriched composition perceived as better and more valuable than those of competitors.
In her dissertation “Nanosilver as a microbiocide for disinfection of technical materials”, Ms. Katarzyna Hanna Pietrzak obtained data on the effectiveness of nanosilver in combating the microbial infestation of historic buildings. Her work is also a material for people responsible for work safety in places where microorganisms that spew and cause asthma can increase the comfort and safety of work.
