Natural Antimicrobial

Agion's antimicrobial technology is based on silver, a naturally occurring element whose antimicrobial properties have been used to combat bacteria throughout history. The earliest records show that the ancient Phoenicians used silver vessels during long sea voyages to line water vessels in order to protect the water from bacteria. In the Middle Ages, the Church made its chalices and Eucharist trays of silver. Agion antimicrobial compound is a patented substance that combines the benefits of silver, which have been proven over the centuries, with a ceramic material. Unlike most other substances used to control destructive bacteria, Agion antimicrobial compound has been developed for use in medical applications, food packaging and a wide variety of products and applications.

SilverClene24

The company also offers a disinfectant and virucide, SilverClene24™, which has been proven effective against a variety of bacteria and viruses including HIV-1, Rhinovirus, Influenza, and Poliovirus. Most disinfectants are made from harsh synthetic chemicals and only last as long as they are not exposed to germs again. SilverClene24 is made from natural silver and provides 24 hours of residual antimicrobial protection after application. It is currently used in hospitals, schools, restaurants, and food processing facilities.
