A. Silver component attracts and binds the virus
Small silver particles are potent antibacterial and antiviral agents due to high surface area to volume ratio and unique chemical and physical properties.
Small silver particles are effective against viruses, effectively eliminating them following short exposure of isolated viruses to silver.
Like a magnet, silver attracts the oppositely charged viruses and binds permanently to their sulfur groups (forming silver sulfide) → the virus is immobilized
Small silver particles contribute to a broad- spectrum of antiviral mechanisms that are not prone to inducing resistance.
