Long-lasting copper ion antibacterial agent

With the enhancement of public health protection awareness, antibacterial textiles have entered numerous scenarios such as clothing, home textiles, and medical protection. There are various types of antibacterial products on the market, with organic antibacterial agents prone to developing drug resistance and silver-based antibacterial agents having potential accumulation risks. Shanghai Jiecon Chemicals Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. has been deeply engaged in the research and development of textile functional additives for many years and has launched the copper ion antibacterial agent JYK ABCOP-35. With its broad-spectrum sterilization and water-resistant washing advantages, it has become the preferred solution in the field of textile antibacterial.

How to achieve efficient sterilization? The mechanism of copper ion antibacterial

Unlike many organic antibacterial agents that only inhibit bacterial metabolism, sub-copper (Cu⁺) adopts a multi-target destruction method, directly killing microorganisms. Bacteria are difficult to develop drug resistance.

01 Destroying the cell membrane

Cu⁺ is more likely to penetrate the bacterial cell membrane and directly damage the lipid layer of the cell membrane, quickly causing cell membrane perforation.

02 Interfering with the enzyme system

Entering the cell, it destroys bacterial respiratory enzymes, DNA replication proteins, and inhibits energy metabolism, with a fast sterilization speed.

03 Oxidative stress

Cu⁺ will undergo oxidation in an aerobic environment and generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidizing and destroying bacterial proteins and nucleic acids. The entire effect belongs to contact sterilization. The fabric can take effect when it comes into contact with bacteria, without releasing a large amount of substances into the environment. From the mechanism perspective, it reduces the risk of microbial drug resistance and is suitable for long-term and repeated use of textile products.

Authoritative testing verification, impressive antibacterial data

The product was analyzed and tested by the Guangdong Provincial Microbial Analysis and Testing Center. The test report is as follows:

1. According to the internationally recognized AATCC 100-2012 textile antibacterial testing standard, the test was conducted on water-resistant nylon antibacterial fabric:
Pneumococcal Klebsiella: Bacterial reduction percentage > 99.95%
Staphylococcus aureus: Bacterial reduction percentage > 99.90%

2. After 50 washes according to the FZ/T 73023-2006 standard, the copper antibacterial fabric:
Escherichia coli: Bacterial reduction percentage > 99.95%
Staphylococcus aureus: Bacterial reduction percentage > 99.95%
After 50 repeated washes, it still maintains an extremely high sterilization efficiency, proving that this copper antibacterial agent is not a short-term surface effect and has excellent water-resistant washing long-term antibacterial ability.

3. The copper content test result is 2.84×10³ mg/kg, the addition amount is controllable, and it can balance the antibacterial performance with the fabric's own feel, mechanical properties, etc.

Core competitive advantages of copper ion antibacterial agent

01 Broad-spectrum antibacterial, wide antibacterial range
Effective against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli), Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, etc.; the sub-copper system has particularly outstanding inhibitory effect on molds, compensating for the weak mold prevention of many organic antibacterial agents.

02 Safe and environmentally friendly, good biocompatibility
Copper is a necessary trace element for the human body, and the biological compatibility is better at a normal slow-release dose; compared with silver-based antibacterial agents, it avoids the potential accumulation risk of heavy metals; compared with organic anti-mold agents, the light aging will not release VOC volatile harmful substances, which is more green and safe.

03 Long-lasting antibacterial, water-resistant washing
Using a slow-release type insoluble copper salt, copper ions slowly precipitate, not one-time dissolution. After being made into fiber masterbatch, the antibacterial component is encapsulated inside the fibers, and the retention rate of antibacterial after repeated water washing is better than many surface spray-type antibacterial agents.

04 Low susceptibility to bacterial resistance
Many organic antibacterial agents are inhibiting metabolism， and long-term use of microorganisms is prone to develop drug resistance； copper ions directly destroy the cell membrane， proteins， and nucleic acids， which belongs to physical + oxidative damage， and bacteria are difficult to develop drug resistance， suitable for long-term use of textiles.

05 Low addition amount can meet the standard， processing is convenient
Adding a small amount of Cu⁺ can meet the antibacterial standards. It has controllable effects on the strength, color and texture of synthetic fibers such as polyester. It is compatible with various textile processing techniques such as immersion dyeing, making it convenient for large-scale production in factories.
