Technology
In development
Company

Liquid metallic copper (Cu°) nanotechnology, enhanced by Clotrimazole, effectively eliminates biofilms and multi-resistant pathogens with over 99.9% efficiency. Verified by international standards, it is suitable for various industrial applications, including textiles and disinfectants.

Overview

Liquid metallic copper (Cu°) technology, combined with Clotrimazole, offers a revolutionary solution for effectively eradicating biofilms and multi-resistant pathogens. This innovative approach leverages the synergistic effects of inhibited ergosterol synthesis and the bactericidal action of metallic copper. The technology demonstrates over 99.9% pathogen elimination rates, verified by ISO and ASTM standards, making it a highly reliable additive for industrial applications.
