Silver has very powerful sanitizing properties: it is sufficient the presence of a part on 100 million elemental silver in a solution, to have an effective sanitizing action.
Positive free radicals of silver are an active sanitizing agent. To have a disinfectant effect, they must be available on the microbial surface; upon contact with it, silver instantly destroys microorganisms, blocking the enzymatic respiratory system (ie the production of energy) and altering the microbial DNA and the cell wall, without causing toxic effects on human cells in vivo.
In addition to the recognized sanitizing properties, silver has the power to facilitate the healing of “lazy lesions” (difficult to solve) and regenerate the damaged tissue.
The demonstration of a lower inflammatory reddening of the lesions in contact with silver also attests to the anti-inflammatory properties of this precious element.

Reflective power
TThe reflection factor of infrared, IR, silver is more than 95%. This is the highest value compared to any other element, and means that 95% of the radiant energy that comes into contact with silver is reflected back to its source. As a result, Resistex® Silver minimizes heat loss by reflecting its own energy on the skin. This is why winter clothing made with Re-sistex® Silver is much warmer than normal.

Radiating power
Silver has one of the lowest rates of radiance among all the elements: this means that it has a very low radiation rate of the thermal energy.

Thermal conductivity
Silver, among all the elements present on Earth, has the highest rate of thermal conduction. This means that Resistex® Silver actively works to distribute heat quickly and uniformly throughout the product, and to allow its subsequent trans-fer. During the hot season, when conduction is the main heat transfer agent, Resistex® Silver favors the natural action of the body accelerating the conduction from the heat emitted by the skin (while a traditional fabric simply offers a barrier to heat conduction). As a silver teaspoon in a cup of boiling tea makes, Resistex® Silver conducts the heat of the skin to the surrounding air thus allowing the cooling of the human body.

Evaporating power
As previously described, Resistex® Silver accelerates the movement of moisture by evaporation. As a result, Resistex® Silver garments increase the body’s well-being during the hot season, minimizing moisture in contact with the skin.

For millennia, silver has been used in thin foils to treat wounds. Today it has been recognized as the most effective sanitizing agent, both among natural and non-natural elements. It is used in the medical field, in sectors where highly effective products against infections are extremely necessary and in the production of filtration equipment or for anti-static and electromagnetic protection.

The electrical conductivity of silver is second only to gold.
