Facts vs Fictions

Need to dump lots of silver metal/ions for anti-microbial efficacy

FICTION: Silver is Oligodynamic – a little goes a long way. Need only 3 – 5ppm to be effective in the media

Need good amount of silver to be conductive

FACT: All the silver present need to form a “layer” or layers to be able to allow movement of electrons to be classified as conductive

Extruded products with silver are conductive

FICTION: Silver needs to form a solid layer to be able to allow movement of electrons

Silver is Thermodynamic

FICTION: From the principles of thermodynamics one can derive general relations between such quantities as coefficients of expansion, compressibility, specific heat capacities, heats of transformation, and magnetic and dielectric coefficients, especially as these are affected by temperature. These are laws not characteristic of a given material

Silver is the most Thermally conductive element

FACT: Silver is quite thermally conductive but not the most. Diamond is the most thermally conductive

Silver is most electrically conductive element

FACT: It is the more conductive than Gold

Silver is most malleable and ductile element

FACT: Hence it is so easy to use in everyday life

Silver is effective against Fungi

FACT: It is very effective against fungi such as yeasts and molds

Silver is broad spectrum anti-bacterial element

FACT: It is very effective against both Gram Positive and Gram Negative bacteria

Silver is effective against virus

FACT:: There are peer reviewed articles demonstrating the value of Silver as a viricidal agent

Silver is most reflective element

FACT: Silver mirror are best example of this. This property helps in providing good comfort for wearers of silver products both in hot and cold conditions
