How it works
The technology behind d2p anti-fungal technology.
The moisture released from the food adds to the humidity inside the packaging and concentrated on the packaging surface.
Silver ions enter the bacteria’s membrane and cause damage and disruption to the cellular wall before penetrating the cell.
Silver ions are highly reactive with the cell enzymes and can deactivate these vital molecules.
Silver ions interrupt the cell DNA preventing replication and cell formation.
