What Is X-STATIC®?
X-STATIC® - The Silver Fiber, has a layer of pure silver permanently bonded to the surface of a textile fiber. The process is such that the fiber, with its silver layer, retains traditional textile and tactile characteristics. It can be used in knits, wovens and non-wovens as either a filament or spun yarn.  X-STATIC® offers all of the benefits known to be inherent to pure silver, delivered in a textile fiber. 
What Does X-STATIC® Do?
X-STATIC® is the most powerful antimicrobial and odor elimination system available.
X-STATIC® has proven efficacy against micro-organisms including microbes, bacteria and fungi.

• X-STATIC® has been researched and tested by leading institutions around the world and is widely accepted in a diverse range of communities, bringing state-of–the art solutions to multiple markets.
• Inhibits the growth of 99.9% of test micro-organisms within hours of exposure in-vitro.
• Shown in-vitro to be effective against both gram positive and gram negative bacterial aerobes and anaerobes as well as fungi (yeasts and molds).
• Numerous products containing X-STATIC® have FDA 510K approvals.
• Surgeons, The Armed Forces, Olympic athletes and NASA astronauts all rely on the proven performance of the technology.

Additional benefits of X-STATIC® beyond its antimicrobial and anti-odor benefits include:

• Thermal Management - Capable of heat transfer (keeps you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter).
• Anti-static & Conductivity - With its conductive properties (silver is the most conductive metal), the silver fiber system has many health benefits.

How Does X-STATIC® Work?
X-STATIC® works via a patented manufacturing process that permanently bonds a layer of pure silver to the surface of a textile fiber while retaining traditional textile and tactile characteristics.
Antimicrobial and Odor Elimination Benefits:

• A permanent layer of X-STATIC® delivers 100% surface coverage of pure silver which optimizes long term ion release performance to where it is applied.
• There is literally a ‘zone of inhibition’ or protection surrounding each silver fiber, so a product only needs a small percent of X-STATIC® to be effective.

Is Silver Safe? Is X-STATIC® safe?
Silver is widely used today in medical products and in consumer products. In fact, the very first drug most people receive when they are born is silver nitrate, in the form of eye drops. Today, silver is used in everything from burn care products for infection control to eating utensils.  X-STATIC® is extremely safe because it is made with pure silver. Prestigious institutions throughout the world have validated the antimicrobial performance and safety of X-STATIC® in published medical journals.
How long does X-STATIC® protection last?
X-STATIC® lasts for the life of the garment. Silver is permanently and irreversibly bound to the surface of a fiber to create X-STATIC®. It cannot wash off or wear off. We have tested X-STATIC® for more than 250 washes with virtually no reduction in performance. The wash testing was stopped only after the garment fell apart.
Are some people allergic to silver?
Some people are allergic to silver jewelry and make the assumption that they are allergic to silver. On the contrary, silver jewelry is made of an alloy called "sterling silver" and the people are allergic to the various other metals in its makeup. There have been no documented cases of allergies to pure silver.
What kind of testing has been performed on X-STATIC®?
X-STATIC® is registered with the EPA and has more than 12 years of published clinical research supporting its safety and claims. X-STATIC® is also used in many of Class 1 and Class 2 FDA approved medical devices. The top medical institutions in the world, including Johns Hopkins and the National Institute of Health, have tested, approved of and currently use X-STATIC®.
Should I be nervous about using an antimicrobial?
Yes, if It is not X-STATIC®. X-STATIC® is not like other antimicrobial products. First, X-STATIC® is natural and there is no fear of toxicity. Second, X-STATIC® has all of the requisite regulatory approvals. Third, X-STATIC® is not just an antimicrobial. It happens to be the best antimicrobial product, but it also has many other valuable attributes.
