SAFE PLUS technology uses active ingredients that exploit the remarkable antibacterial properties of silver ions, which can block the proliferation of a wide range of bacteria normally present on surfaces of all kinds.

Rigorous tests carried out by specialized laboratories have shown a reduction of more than 90% of the inoculated viral load on samples of SAFE PLUS material supplied by us, already after 2 hours from the first contact of the virus with the ceramic surface.

The protective action of SAFE PLUS products is always active, day and night. Unlike other antibacterial technologies, which require the presence of sunlight to be activated, this solution is fully effective even in conditions of total darkness.

SAFE PLUS is a technology integrated in the production process and therefore in the internal structure of the product: its action is permanent, effective for the entire life of the product itself and does not deteriorate with ordinary cleaning operations.

By continuously hindering the ability of bacteria to survive, SAFE PLUS protection facilitates normal sanitizing operations in domestic and professional environments. This solution does not replace ordinary cleaning and hygiene practices, but rather complements and improves them.

Silver ion antibacterial technology has long been used in many areas where hygiene is critical: from utensils and equipment of all kinds for food use to materials for schools, wellness centers, swimming pools, gyms, health environments. SAFE PLUS transfers this exclusive technology to the ceramic product.

Ceramica Sant'Agostino's SAFE PLUS products have been tested by independent specialized laboratories according to the following standards ISO 22196:2011 for antibacterial activity and ISO 21702:2019 for antiviral activity.

SAFE PLUS technology effectively combats viruses and bacteria but has no harmful effect on the environment or on the health of humans and animals.
