Products Application
Manica SpA has registered its Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate as an active substance for the manufacture of type 2 (PT2) products in accordance with Annex V of the BPR – EU Regulation 528/2012.
Copper is a noble metal like gold or silver and possesses properties very similar to its more precious relatives. The coins we handle every day are coated with copper precisely to give it necessary antibacterial properties given the constant passing from hand to hand. Copper has been known since the past for its fungicidal, bactericidal and virucidal activity even at very low concentrations.
Our HPG BIO GRADE Copper Sulphate is used in surface finishing processes such as in electroplating processes, but it can be added to matrices of different types to impart anti-odor or anti-mold properties to them given its biocidal properties.
A small amount of copper ions can help improve the performance of the treated product and prolong its life through increased resistance to degrading agents.
Manica SpA, thanks to its passion for innovation, has also conducted several studies with Universities and Research Centers that have scientifically demonstrated the effectiveness of our active ingredient against pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, algae and fungi.
This characteristic of our HPG BIO GRADE Copper Sulfate makes it interesting for the development of products that, thanks to the presence of small traces of copper, develop biocidal properties.
According to European regulation, our active ingredient can be used to develop textiles, cloths, masks, paints and other articles or materials to produce treated articles with disinfectant properties.
