Active substances with antimicrobial effect
Antimicrobial agents (AMW) are substances that have an effect on the growth of microbes, i.e. bacteria, fungi, yeasts and sometimes also viruses, and can reduce or even completely prevent their proliferation. The mode of action is usually the same for all types of active substance, there is an effect on the cell membranes of the microbes, which are penetrated and the cell nucleus ultimately inactivated. However, the way in which this is done is different. Most AMWs chemically act on and dissolve the cell wall. abbeo also uses the latest and patented technologies that are on the market and which have a physical effect on the cell wall. The cell is pierced, so to speak, like with a needle or a sword. It is a purely physical mechanism with many advantages and we call them:

cell wall and permanently inactivates the bacteria.
Effect:
Without abbeo hygiene protection:
Bacteria multiply quickly and unpleasant odors develop.
With abbeo hygiene protection:
No bacterial growth and therefore no odours.
disinfection vs
abbeo hygiene protection
Bacteria grow rapidly, sometimes doubling every 20 minutes. No wonder that in hygienically sensitive areas such as an operating room, the aim is to reduce the number of bacteria to as little as possible. However, as the graphic below shows, growth begins to increase again quickly even after disinfection, there is a ping-pong effect and it has to be disinfected again after a short time. The abbeo protective equipment does not generate a sterile, bacteria-free environment, that is not the goal. But bacterial growth is kept at a low level where it cannot develop odors and multiply uncontrollably, thus remaining hygienic. You'll feel fresh and confident all day long.

Natural fibers and blends with synthetic fibers
Filter materials (air conditioning, ventilation systems, face masks
clothing textiles
Home textiles (bed linen etc.)
workwear
ADVANTAGES
physical mode of action
Large spectrum of activity
against bacteria (gram- and gram+) and selective fungal species.
Easy to integrate into existing textile production processes.
High effectiveness at low application rates.
Very high wash resistance.
Bis 100x bei 95°C (Baumwolle)
Global Registration
Meets all major global
Label for skin compatibility
ACTIVE SUBSTANCE
Quaternary ammonium salt
Molecule with an anchor system that permanently connects to the fiber (hilt of the sword). The active part protrudes from the fiber surface and protects it (blade of the sword).
This so-called bacteriostatic effect also guarantees application safety for people and the environment. In addition to the common and reliable Ökotex-Standard 100 label, class 1 (safe for baby applications), this safe technology also meets the "Allergy UK" label, which is so important for allergy sufferers.
The abbeo - "beauty ingredient"
In the area of material protection, the requirements are often higher and more challenging than for "normal hygiene protection". Textiles in the outdoor area, geotextiles or even work clothing are often at the mercy of wind and weather, come into contact with the earth and thus with a large number of germs and organisms. In this area, in addition to preventing unpleasant odours, protection against fungus and mold or even protection against rotting is often required for textile structures such as those used in road construction, which often have to be buried and remain durable. However, protection against fungi is also very important in the area of home textiles: carpets, mattress covers, curtains, sofa fabrics... Fungi such as Aspergillus niger are very common here - which we know from the bathroom in particular and which thrives particularly well in damp conditions and forms the typical, unpleasant black spots which can spread quickly and ultimately endanger our health. The topic of mites is also very important for allergy sufferers: the allergens of the mites, which are found in their faeces, can quickly cause problems for allergy sufferers and severely affect their well-being. Having a mite protection in the mattress, carpet or sofa is therefore an essential contribution to well-being, to hygiene and good health.
It would be presumptuous to claim that our products in the "Materials" area make you beautiful, but in this area we use an active ingredient from the beauty sector of cosmetics that many of us who have already had to struggle with hair dandruff are familiar with: the most common We have misused the active ingredient used in dandruff shampoos and reformulated it in such a way that it does an excellent, safe job against bacteria, fungi, algae and even house dust mites: and that with all the long-tested and proven safety of the beauty sector behind us.

Colonization by mites on an unprotected textile happens quickly and the population increases exponentially, as the graphic on the right shows. Different with the protection provided by abbeo THO liq. Even after many washing cycles, the colonization remains almost at zero because bacterial and fungal growth is prevented, which is the basis of food for the house dust mite. This is particularly important for items that are usually not or rarely washed, such as mattress fabrics or upholstery fabrics for furniture, sofas, curtains, etc.

Ag+
The noble among the abbeo active ingredients
Everyone knows silver: the ring on the finger or the chain around the neck, maybe one or the other still knows the silver spoon in the grandmother's drinking glass which keeps the water sterile. In addition to its noble character for jewelry, silver also has great and important properties in the antimicrobial area. Silver has also been used in medicine for decades, especially in ointments against severe burns or in eye drops which are sometimes given to newborns to clean the eyes.
Silver, modified so that it can be incorporated into textile or plastics manufacturing, gives the end article a highly effective, reliable and safe protection against bacteria.
The noble active ingredient provides freshness and hygiene - for the entire service life of the material!

ACTIVE SUBSTANCE
silver salt
Due to the positive charge of abbeo AgP, it attaches itself to the negatively charged surface of the bacterium and destabilizes the cell wall. It blocks the absorption of nutrients and oxygen. Cell reproduction is prevented.
