The unique HeiQ antimicrobial silver acts as a reservoir for release of silver ions (Ag+) upon contact with water. The released silver ions are active agents against microbes. The presence of both surface and embedded silver particles gives the material a combination of immediate antimicrobial activity combined with long-term durability.

Applications
The antimicrobial effects of HeiQ antimicrobial silvers fit within a broad range of sectors and applications:

- Synthetic fibers (e.g. PES/PA/PBT/PP/Viscose/PLA)
- Textile finish
- Medical applications (catheters, wound dressings, patches etc)
- Paints and coatings
- Cosmetics
