Benefits
Antimicrobial efficacy
- Silver ion inorganic antimicrobial technology
- Proven to eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria
KokinEL is at the forefront of antimicrobial solutions, offering a host of benefits designed to meet the needs of modern consumers and manufacturers alike. its unparalleled antibacterial efficacy is proven to significantly reduce the presence of harmful bacteria by up to 99.9%, thereby enhancing the safety and hygiene of end products
Safety
- Silver ion technology is safe for human contact
- Environmentally management, meeting global safety standards
Silver ions are generally safe for contact with skin, which is why they are incorporated into products. It is not typically cause irritation or allergic reactions, which are common concerns with some other antimicrobial chemicals. At the concentrations used in most consumer and medical applications, silver ions are non-toxic to humans. The safety profile of silver ions at these concentrations has been well-established, allowing their use in a wide range of everyday products.
Durability
- Antimicrobial properties throughout the product’s lifespan ensure long-term protection against bacteria.
- High-temperature processing compatibility over 600°C
The durability of KokinEL is unmatched, designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use and maintain its antimicrobial properties throughout the product’s lifecycle, ensuring long-term protection against bacteria.
The specific temperature range over which silver ion antimicrobial additives maintain their stability depends largely on the composition of the carrier and the method of silver ion incorporation. In case of KokinEL, silver-loaded glass can withstand higher temperatures (up to about 600°C or more) compared to organic carriers.
Compliance
- Compliant with EPA, FDA and BPR regulation
KokinEL adheres strictly to global regulatory standards, including FDA and EU guidelines, providing our clients with the confidence that their products are not only safe but also compliant with international health and safety regulations.

FAQ
What is silver ion technology, and how does it work to combat bacteria?
Silver ion technology leverages the natural antimicrobial properties of silver ions, which, when released into an environment, target and penetrate bacterial cells, disrupting their vital functions and effectively eliminating them. This mechanism ensures broad-spectrum antibacterial protection without promoting resistance.
Can KokinEL be integrated into any type of material?
KokinEL is highly versatile and has been engineered to be compatible with a wide range of materials, including plastics, textiles, and coatings, without compromising the material’s integrity or performance.
Is the antibacterial effect of KokinEL long-lasting?
Yes, the antibacterial properties of KokinEL are designed to last for the entire lifespan of the product into which it is incorporated, ensuring long-term protection against bacteria without diminishing in effectiveness.
How safe is KokinEL for use in products that come into direct contact with skin?
KokinEL is formulated with safety as a priority. It is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and has been rigorously tested to ensure it is safe for use in products that come into direct contact with skin, including clothing and medical devices.
Does the use of silver ions pose any environmental risks?
We are committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. KokinEL is designed to minimize environmental impact, with controlled release mechanisms that prevent any undue silver ion migration into the environment.
