What is Nano Silver?
Nanotechnology is the science of creating & utilizing nano-sized particles that measure in nanometers or 1 billionth of a metre. Nanotechnology includes but not limited to: Photocatalysis with the use of titanium dioxide & nanosilver disinfection with the use of nanosilver particles. Let's focus on the latter here. Silver has natural anti-bacterial & anti-fungal properties and has been used for this purpose for centuries. The nano silver particles, when impregnated into various materials such as plastic & metal, vastly improve its bactericidal & fungicidal effectiveness. The nano silver inhibits multiplication & proliferation of bacteria & fungi - in a very natural yet potent way.
The silver nanoparticles can be added to virtually any material or substance and endow that material with all the beneficial properties of silver. You can read more about the beneficial properties of nano silver products via the following links:

Products impregnated and/or infused with nanosilver particles:
- Food Storage Containers (e.g. Fresher Longer, Fresh Box)
- Washer (e.g. Samsung SilverCare)
- Humidifier water tank disinfectant (e.g. Air-O-Swiss Ionic Silver Stick)
- Air filter
- Cutting Boards
- Toothpaste, Cleaners, Detergents
- Disinfectant Spray (humans & pets)
- Hair Care Products & Cosmetics
- Many more
Silver appears to be a powerful, natural antibiotic & preventative against infections. Acting as a catalyst, it reportedly disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses & fungi need for their oxygen metabolism. Nano silver, being actually smaller than many bacteria, may block their growth at the microscopic level.
Nano silver particles suffocate bacteria, viruses & fungi without doing harm to human enzymes or the human body chemistry. This results in the destruction of disease-causing organisms on the body or around food.
It is now thought that silver may be one of the most effective antibiotic substances known. Used for medical treatment of human ailments for over 100 years for its natural antibacterial, antifungal & non-toxic properties, silver has a long history of success. Nano silver may kill over 650 different bacterial species in minutes.
