exSOL Technology Solutions
Silver has antimicrobial properties only when it is in an ionic or complexed form. Producing complexed forms of silver that can be incorporated into liquids has been a challenge – until now. Exciton has developed exSOL®, an innovative and affordable technology for producing liquid solutions of complexed silver ions. Using advanced chemistry techniques, we can produce stable solutions of ionic silver complexes that have antimicrobial activity and long-lasting residual action. When exSOL® technology is incorporated into formulations, the resulting products show superior antimicrobial activity. exSOL® solutions are easy to manufacture in large volumes and can be incorporated into a wide range of applications and products.
The Exciton exSOL® technology differs from its competitors in crucial ways:- Optimal silver delivery. Our complexed silver ion solutions can produce effective increases in antimicrobial action in a wide variety of final products.
- Lower manufacturing costs. Exciton has shown that manufacturing of exSOL® on a large scale is more cost effective than competing silver-based technologies.
- Adaptable technology. The exSOL® technology can be structured to bring almost any product to higher levels of antimicrobial activity.
