GPZ 10N is a specialized, high-efficiency Zeolite Silver antimicrobial additive, meticulously engineered for applications that require a balanced and finely-tuned release of active ions. Formulated with an ion-exchangeable silver content of 0.5%–1.5%, this grade utilizes a high-purity crystalline aluminosilicate (Zeolite) matrix to house the active antimicrobial agent.
The specific silver loading in GPZ 10N is designed to provide optimal efficacy while maintaining the highest levels of material aesthetics. By utilizing the Zeolite’s unique microporous architecture, the product facilitates a sophisticated moisture-responsive ion exchange, ensuring that bio-active silver is delivered to the surface in a steady, controlled manner to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, algae, and odor-causing microbes.
The primary advantage of GPZ 10N lies in its exceptional optical and thermal stability.
Due to its precise silver concentration and high-quality inorganic carrier, it is particularly resistant to the photo-reduction and oxidative “greying” or “pinking” sometimes associated with silver-based additives. This makes it a preferred choice for white or light-colored polymers and transparent coatings where maintaining the original color integrity is paramount. Furthermore, GPZ 10N possesses robust thermal resilience, allowing it to withstand the intense heat of thermoplastic extrusion, blow molding, and powder coating curing without compromising its structural or biocidal integrity.
Designed for seamless integration into modern manufacturing workflows, GPZ 10N offers superior dispersibility across a vast array of substrate materials. It is highly compatible with resin systems such as PP, PE, ABS, PC, and various thermoset resins, as well as water-borne and solvent-borne coatings. Because it remains chemically inert within the host matrix, it does not negatively impact the mechanical properties or the shelf-life of the final formulation. Whether it is being utilized in medical device components, appliance housings, high-performance textiles, or filtration media, GPZ 10N provides a scientifically advanced and durable solution for long-term antimicrobial surface protection.

Enhances antibacterial performance in transparent/opaque glazes for tiles and sanitary ceramics without relying on organic biocides.
Ideal for wash basins, WC surfaces, urinals, and shower-area ceramics where long-term hygiene and easy cleaning are critical.
Improves hygiene protection on tiles used in hospitals, schools, malls, public washrooms, and other high-touch/high-footfall areas.
Can be incorporated into ceramic bodies to provide antimicrobial functionality that remains durable even if the surface experiences wear.
Suitable for ceramic-coated handles, knobs, panels, and architectural surfaces where repeated contact demands sustained microbial resistance.
Works in slips/engobes/printed ceramic layers to add antimicrobial function to decorated ceramics while maintaining process compatibility.

Provides sustained antibacterial performance through controlled silver-ion release from the zeolite network.
Withstands ceramic processing and firing conditions better than many organic antimicrobial additives.
Inorganic carrier improves permanence—protection remains effective even after repeated cleaning and exposure to water.
Delivers hygiene functionality without typical issues of volatile or odor-causing organic preservatives.
Works across ceramic glazes, slips, engobes, and bodies, enabling both surface and in-body antimicrobial designs.
Helps achieve hygienic ceramics with minimal impact on appearance when properly dispersed and dosage-optimized.
Typically shipped as non-hazardous / not regulated for transport (confirm with the latest SDS/COA for your shipment).
Fine mineral powders can irritate the respiratory tract—use local exhaust ventilation and a suitable dust mask/respirator during weighing and mixing.
Dust or splashes (if made into slurry) may cause irritation—wear safety goggles/face shield and chemical-resistant gloves.
Do not eat/drink/smoke while handling; wash hands thoroughly after use and before breaks.
Avoid uncontrolled discharge to drains; collect spills and dispose as per local regulations for silver-containing inorganic waste.
Avoid dry sweeping that raises dust—use HEPA vacuum or damp cleanup; keep containers closed to minimize airborne particles.
Inorganic mineral product—not flammable under normal conditions; store away from incompatible chemicals as per SDS.
Final hazard classification, PPE, first-aid, and disposal instructions should follow the product SDS and local compliance requirements.
Store GPZS-10N in original, closed packaging to prevent moisture pickup and contamination.
Maintain storage in a dry warehouse at ambient temperature; avoid damp zones and water contact.
Do not expose to prolonged sunlight or high heat sources to preserve product consistency and handling.
Moisture can promote lumping and reduce flow—use desiccant where needed and reseal immediately after sampling.
Keep away from strong acids/alkalis and reactive chemicals; use dedicated scoops and clean transfer tools.
Follow FIFO and track batch numbers; use within the recommended shelf-life stated on COA/SDS.
Minimize dust generation; clean spills promptly and keep the storage area free from powder accumulation.
Supplied in sealed, moisture-resistant inner pack (liner) with an outer carton for safe handling and sampling.
Packed in heavy-duty, sealed HDPE container or laminated bag-in-box to protect from moisture and contamination.
