Antimicrobial SAP with Sequestered Hydrogen Peroxide
Discover a new way to treat commercially-available SAP powders with hydrogen peroxide (HP) using a simple and inexpensive process that can be easily scaled for commercial production in diapers. Bacterial growth in wet diapers results in unpleasant odors and health risks such as infection and rashes. Contamination can be spread during handling or removal of diapers continuing to emit odors and retaining the potential to spread disease even after disposal.
There are currently no commercially-available SAP materials with antimicrobial properties.
HP is known to be safe for skin contact as well as being environmentally-friendly. It is a potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial neutralizing viruses, fungi, and mold and effective against bacteria. Learn about the SAP-HP solution to reduce microbial contamination associated with the use of absorbent products.
