Silver Ion Anti-Microbial Additive GPSG-10DL

GPSG-10DL is a high-performance silver glass–based anti-microbial additive supplied as a free-flowing powder, engineered for durable and long-term microbial protection in industrial materials. The active silver component is permanently embedded within a chemically stable glass matrix, enabling a controlled and sustained release of silver ions over the service life of the treated product.

This mechanism helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, mold, and mildew on surfaces, even under humid and microbe-prone conditions. Unlike conventional organic biocides, GPSG-10DL offers non-leaching performance, low volatility, and excellent thermal stability, making it suitable for high-temperature processing and demanding applications.

GPSG-10DL is designed for use in plastics, polymer compounds, coatings, sealants, and construction materials, where long-lasting hygiene, odor control, and resistance to microbial-induced degradation are required. Its inorganic nature ensures long service life, formulation stability, and compatibility with a wide range of systems, providing manufacturers with a reliable antimicrobial solution for modern industrial applications.

Suitable for industrial material protection applications

Typical Dosage (Guideline)

Dosage depends on base resin, surface area exposure, humidity, film thickness, and target microbes.

Starting dose: 0.2% – 1.0% (on total formulation weight)

Higher exposure / high-risk areas: 0.5% – 2.0% (after performance

How to Use / Incorporation

For plastics: add during compounding / masterbatch stage for best dispersion

For coatings: pre-disperse with suitable wetting/dispersing agents if required

Avoid excessive moisture pickup during handling; keep container tightly closed

Run a jar test / lab trial to confirm viscosity, shade, and stability impact

Storage & Shelf Life

Store in original sealed container in a cool, dry place

Protect from moisture and direct sunlight

Shelf life: 24 months from date of manufacture (recommended, if stored properly)
