NOVARON® for Fiber & Film is an antibacterial agent that carries silver ions on an inorganic ion exchanger and has an antibacterial effect against a wide range of bacteria. Since it is a uniform fine particle with almost no hygroscopicity and excellent in heat resistance, it can be easily molded into fibers, films, and plastic products and can be easily dispersed in paints. It is also extremely safe and is approved by the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration).
