| Copper technology
Copper's antimicrobial properties have been known for more than five millennia. The ancient Egyptians used copper pipes to transport water to destroy parasites and other water-borne pathogens. Shipbuilders have used copper for thousands of years to keep algae from encrusting on the hulls of ships. French vintners have used a copper sulphate compound to fight fungus on grapevines for hundreds years. Today, copper has a myriad of uses as well. A recent study showed that copper door handles and taps kill 95% of superbugs in hospitals. Cupron's technology now makes it possible to use these powerful and wide ranging antimicrobial properties in new ways.
Cupron's technological breakthrough is based on the development of techniques to bond a copper oxide compound and other metallic compounds to a range of textile fibers. Cupron's manufacturing technology permanently binds its proprietary copper compound to textile fibers, non-woven fabrics, paper, latex and other polymeric products.
While highly sophisticated, implementation of this technology does not involve complicated or hazardous manufacturing methods. And best of all, the protection offered by Cupron-based products will last as long as the products themselves, regardless of multiple hot water washings, abrasion or bleach.
