PROPERTIES OF SILVER
Silver has various positive properties. By coating a yarn with silver, one changes not only the look of the yarn but one also adds properties of the silver as follows:
- conductive
In terms of electric conductivity but also thermal conductivity, silver shows excellent values that are hardly beaten by any other metal.
- shielding
Thanks to its excellent properties in terms of electric conductivity, silver is perfect for shielding applications, where one blocks electromagnetic fields with barriers made of conductive materials.
- antibacterial
Silver acts antibacterial as well as anti-fungal.
- odour preventing
Silver kills bacteria that produce odour.
