PRODUCT OVERVIEW

GPZ-10N β€” Inorganic Zeolite Silver Antimicrobial Additive

Why formulators choose GPZ-10N over organic biocides

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.

Everything You Need to Know

GPZ-10N
Frequently Asked Questions

Technical and commercial questions about GPZ-10N answered by Geocon's application specialists.

What is GPZ-10N and how does it differ from standard silver-ion antimicrobials?
GPZ-10N is an inorganic zeolite silver antimicrobial additive based on a Faujasite-X crystalline aluminosilicate framework. Unlike soluble silver salts that release ions immediately, GPZ-10N stores and releases Ag⁺ ions gradually through moisture-responsive ion exchange, giving sustained antimicrobial protection across the product lifetime.
What is the recommended dosage of GPZ-10N in plastic compounds and masterbatches?
For direct polymer compounding, GPZ-10N is typically used at 0.2–1.0% by weight. For masterbatch production, a concentration of 1.0–3.0% is standard and then let down into the base resin during final compounding.
Will GPZ-10N cause discoloration or yellowing in white or transparent polymers?
No. GPZ-10N is engineered to minimize photo-reduction, where Ag⁺ converts to metallic Ag⁰ under UV light and causes grey or brown discoloration. Its Faujasite-X zeolite lattice and calibrated 0.80 ± 0.05 wt% silver loading help maintain colour stability in white, transparent, and light-coloured systems.
Is GPZ-10N safe for food-contact applications and medical devices?
GPZ-10N is classified as non-hazardous under standard transport and chemical handling guidelines. Its silver ions are locked within the zeolite lattice and are non-leaching under normal use conditions. For food-contact or medical device use, consult Geocon’s regulatory documentation and local permissible limits.
Which microorganisms does GPZ-10N control, and what test standards apply?
GPZ-10N provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy against organisms including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, and odor-forming bacteria. Common test standards include ISO 22196 for plastics and ISO 20743 for textiles.
How does GPZ-10N compare to GPZ-10D?
GPZ-10N is optimized for colour-critical and optically demanding applications such as white polymers, transparent coatings, and light-coloured textiles. GPZ-10D is designed for higher-heat engineering polymers and industrial coatings where maximum thermal durability is the priority.
