Manufacturing Process
Mixing Phase
Heat deionized water to 50°C and maintain temperature for uniform dissolution.
Add silver chloride under continuous stirring until fully dispersed.
Slowly add acrylate copolymer with moderate stirring to prevent agglomeration.
Blend polyethylene glycol until a smooth, uniform solution is attained.
Final Processing
Conduct final viscosity check using a Brookfield Viscometer.
Filter the formulation through a 5 micron filter to remove any particulates.
Conduct microbial efficacy testing to ensure quality and safety standards.
Usage Instructions
Apply the coating uniformly on clean, dry textiles using a spray or dip coating method ensuring full coverage. Allow textiles to air dry completely before use. Reapply every 6 months for optimal protection.
