Product Information
ADM-Ag04 Nano Silver Antimicrobial Agent
Product Overview
ADM-Ag04 is a nano silver-based antimicrobial agent with nano silver as the main active component, typically present in the form of silver particles around 10 nm in size. It provides antimicrobial protection through the gradual release of silver ions, which can interfere with bacterial cellular enzyme activity and inhibit microbial growth. The silver ions remain stable in the application system, contributing to long-lasting antimicrobial performance.
ADM-Ag04 is suitable for use in neutral to mildly acidic water-based daily products, as well as in oil-based systems such as silicone and coatings. It is designed to provide rapid control of common pathogenic bacteria while maintaining a hygienic, safe, and odor-free profile.
Key Features
- Nano Silver Active Technology: Silver particles approximately 10 nm in size provide stable and long-lasting antimicrobial performance.
- Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Protection: Designed to provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection against microorganisms commonly encountered in susceptible products.
- Water and Oil System Compatibility: Suitable for use in both water-based and oil-based formulations, offering formulation flexibility.
- Good Stability in Surfactant Systems: Compatible with anionic and nonionic surfactant systems without significant performance loss.
- Wide Chemical Compatibility: Compatible with many chemicals, including surfactants, fragrance additives, and softeners, without affecting their functions.
- Low Flammability: The product is not readily flammable under normal conditions.
- Stable Appearance: Resistant to discoloration when stored under light-protected conditions.
Technical Data
*Note: Solubility data is based on product specifications; for specific formulation compatibility, testing is recommended.
Suitable Applications
ADM-Ag04 can be used in a range of water-based and oil-based formulations where antimicrobial protection is required, including:
- Silicone Products: Antimicrobial protection for silicone-based products and formulations.
- Coatings & Paints: Antimicrobial additive for selected coating and paint systems.
- Water-Based Daily-Use Products: Suitable for neutral to mildly acidic formulations such as hand wash.
- Other Polymer-Based Formulations: For applications requiring antimicrobial protection, subject to compatibility and performance testing.
Antimicrobial Performance
ADM-Ag04 is designed to provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection and can be used alone or in combination with other antimicrobial active ingredients, depending on the formulation and application requirements.
Antimicrobial Activity in Silicone
*Test conditions: ADM-Ag04 addition level of 0.5% in silicone; test standard: JIS Z 2801-2000.
Recommended Dosage
For neutral or mildly acidic water-based products (such as hand wash), the recommended addition level is 0.2 – 1.0%.
Actual dosage may vary depending on the application environment, region, season, and microbial conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal addition level through preservative efficacy testing based on the specific product and regulatory requirements.
Application Method
Add ADM-Ag04 to the product and mix thoroughly until uniformly distributed. It is recommended to add ADM-Ag04 during the final stage of formulation, preferably at temperatures below 45°C.
Recommended Application pH: 4.0 – 8.0
For special applications, please consult your local sales representative or technical team.
