GPZ-10N
Inorganic Zeolite Silver Antimicrobial Additive
Long-Lasting Protection for Plastics, Coatings, Rubber & Industrial Surfaces Advanced silver-ion technology designed to inhibit bacteria, fungi, mold, and odor-causing microbes in finished products
GPZ-10N β Inorganic Zeolite Silver Antimicrobial Additive
GPZS-10N is a silver-based inorganic antimicrobial additive based on advanced Zeolite Silver technology designed to provide long-lasting protection against bacteria, fungi, mold, and odor-causing microorganisms. The active silver ions are immobilized within a stable zeolite structure, enabling controlled and sustained antimicrobial performance over extended periods.
Unlike conventional organic antimicrobial systems, GPZS-10N offers excellent heat stability, durability, and compatibility with a wide range of industrial materials including plastics, coatings, rubber, silicones, textiles, ceramics, and polymers. The inorganic zeolite carrier helps maintain the stability and effectiveness of silver ions even under demanding processing conditions.
GPZS-10N is suitable for applications where hygiene, cleanliness, and product durability are important. It can be incorporated into finished products to help reduce microbial growth, surface contamination, discoloration, and odor formation while maintaining the physical appearance and processing characteristics of the substrate. The technology behind silver-zeolite antimicrobial systems has been widely recognized for its safety, long-term efficacy, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial performance across industrial and consumer applications.
