What is AgION™ Antimicrobial Protection?
It safely inhibits
the growth of bacteria, mold, mildew, yeast and fungus on the surface of
products that it has been incorporated.
How Does it Work?
Ancient civilizations recognized the
antimicrobial and cleansing powers of silver. Silver has been used to line
water storage containers and is used in silverware in homes. Silver-nitrate
is put into the eyes of newborn infants by doctors.
AgION™ technology is a crystallized powder that contains silver ions. These
microscopic ions are released slowly over the life of the product and have a
harmful effect on bacteria.
Through a sophisticated process, Quickpoint adds AgION™ technology into
Safe/Ad™ products during manufacturing. If AgION™ Antimicrobial protection
is in the product, millions of bacteria aren't!

Is it Safe?
AgION™ technology is completely safe! It
uses silver, a naturally occurring metal and a logical alternative to the
vast array of synthetic chemicals. AgION™ technology has been approved by
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and has been reviewed by the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA).
Because silver is not an antibiotic, the likelihood of bacteria becoming
resistant to antibiotics due to the use of silver is low. Silver has been
around for centuries!
How Long Does the Protection Last?
The protection will
last for the life of the product.
Is Antimicrobial the Same as Anti-Bacterial?
No. Bacteria is a
form of microbe. Mold, mildew, yeast and fungus are also microbes, but are
not bacteria. Therefore, "antimicrobial" means that a product is effective
against not only bacteria, but also mold, mildew, yeast, and fungus.
What Other Products Use AgION™ Technology?
AgION™ technology is
used in products manufactured by many companies including Du Pont, AK Steel,
Honeywell, Adidas, and Teva Sandals.
Medical products such as stethoscope diaphragms and catheters use AgION™
technology, food related applications include packaging, sponges, food
preparation surfaces and restaurant equipment. Clothing applications are
found in footwear and medical uniforms.
