Ag Catalyst Activated Carbon
- Item No.
- AG
Dual Action: Antimicrobial and Adsorption
AG is a functional activated carbon made from coconut shell-based activated carbon impregnated with silver nanoparticles (Ag⁺). The silver ions suppress bacterial and fungal growth, as well as slime and algae formation in water. It combines high adsorption efficiency with antimicrobial effects, making it suitable for hygiene-critical applications.
Features
- Strong Antimicrobial Effect
- Ag⁺ ions attach to bacterial cells and inhibit enzymes, leading to cell death. Effective against common bacteria such as E. coli and B. subtilis.
- Slime & Algae Control
- Limits microbial growth, preventing biofilm (slime) and algae formation in equipment and pipes.
- High Safety
- Silver has long been used in tableware and medical tools and is recognized as a safe antimicrobial.
- Excellent Adsorption
- Made from high-grade coconut shell activated carbon, it efficiently removes organic matter and odors.
On silver ion (Ag+)
The microorganisms that are targeted from control during the antimicrobial and
antifungal processing of silver are mainly bacteria and fungi (molds).
Silver ion strongly adsorbs to cells of various bacteria and kills them by blocking bacterial cell
enzymes.
Silver ion strongly adsorbs to cells of various bacteria and kills them by blocking bacterial cell
enzymes.
It is possible to prevent the occurrence of slime (slimy mycelia) and algae by controlling bacteria.
Eubacteria is a very diverse group of bacteria that includes Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis,
cyanobacteria, etc., which exist in every environment on Earth.
