Sports socks low (ankle) black/pink

Product detailed description

Benefits of antibacterial nanosilver® socks

• socks for active movement and everyday wear
• prevent the growth of bacteria - the source of odour
• prevent the formation of mould
• suitable for men and women

Why do socks contain silver® nanoparticles?

Silver nanoparticles can now be found in antibacterial products, industrial production, catalysis, household products and consumer goods. A very popular use is in sportswear, as silver nanoparticles help to eliminate odours.

However, their use can also be found in medical products, optical sensors, cosmetics, paint production, pharmaceuticals, food, diagnostics and cancer treatment.

These are silver particles ranging in size from about 1 to 100 nanometres. The most common are spherical, but they also come in other shapes. They are not usually made up of silver alone, but often also contain a relatively large percentage of silver oxide, which is formed by oxidation on the relatively large surface of the nanoparticles. The silver contained in nanosilver socks serves to prevent and help eliminate fungus, mycoses and eczema.

The silver molecules are firmly attached to the polyester fibres. Silver is known for its antibacterial properties - it eliminates bacteria produced in sweat that are the source of odor. Once the socks are dry, they do not smell. However, this process is not endless. After the first few uses, the odor is suppressed, but after multiple uses, the odor may appear. Therefore, these materials also need to be washed. However, compared to conventional socks, the intensity of the odour is incomparably lower, as is the speed of its onset.

High quality European socks

The European brand Nanosilver® specializes in the production of quality socks that last and are suitable even for top athletes. They use a treatment with silver nanoparticles in their socks, which give the socks an antibacterial and anti-odor effect.

Who are the sports low socks with silver for?

• All athletes as a functional clothing base
• for production workers - workers, warehouse workers and other professions
• for service workers - car mechanics, builders, etc.
• firefighters, police officers, security guards, soldiers and other armed forces
• for managers, administrative staff and sales representatives
• for all travellers and mountaineers
• also suitable for fishermen, farmers, hunters or foresters
• for men and women

Material

• 48% cotton
• 24% polyamide
• 13% elastane (Lycra®)
• 8% polypropylene
• 7% polyester (nanosilver® antibacterial fibre)

Organic cotton - freshness, breathability and ecological origin

It is added to approximately 50% of the textiles produced. It has good tensile and abrasion strength, which even increases by about 20% when wet. It is therefore used to advantage, particularly on products that are subject to stress and have to be washed frequently. The products have a pleasant feel and can absorb a considerable amount of moisture, such as sweat.Organic cotton is grown without pesticides and chemical fertilisers. It is softer to the touch because its fibres are not damaged by the chemicals used in conventional cotton growing and processing. It smells cleaner because formaldehyde is not used in its processing. It is also kinder to the skin in terms of allergies because it does not contain harmful chemicals and, last but not least, it has a higher degree of breathability.

nanosilver® - antibacterial

Silver molecules are firmly attached to the polyester fibres. Silver is known for its antibacterial effects - it eliminates bacteria produced in sweat, which are the source of odour. Once the socks are dry, they do not smell. However, this process is not endless. After the first few uses, the odor is suppressed, but after multiple uses, the odor may appear. Therefore, these materials also need to be washed. However, compared to conventional socks, the intensity of the odour is incomparably lower, as is the speed of its onset.

Lycra® - elasticity and pliability

Gives the material greater elasticity (pliability) and elasticity. The stretch of these fibres reaches up to eight times their length.

Polypropylene - water repellency and thermal insulation

The properties of polypropylene - PP - are now generally known: absolute water repellency, strong thermal insulation, low weight. Polypropylene's properties, which are used for the production of functional sportswear, are superior to any other synthetic fibre.

Polyamide - strength and durability

The excellent properties of polyamide include high dry and wet strength, high abrasion resistance, high elasticity, low specific gravity, high specific volume, very easy to maintain (washing, drying) and more. It is mainly used for hosiery and sportswear. Each washing increases the durability of polyamide fabrics or knits. Any symptoms of hypersensitivity of human skin when wearing polyamide products are not caused by the properties of the fibre but by dyes, detergent residues, etc.

Maintenance of silver socks

Do not use fabric softener!

To preserve the functionality of nanosilver® technology, we do not recommend the use of fabric softener.The fabric softener forms a film on the fibres which creates a barrier between the direct contact of the skin and the material. The silver molecules need to be in direct contact with the skin for perfect effectiveness.

If you happen to have mistakenly treated your clothes with fabric softener during washing, remove this protective film during the next wash.

Additional information:

""Customers are advised of possible negative reactions and damage to the material of nanosilver garments to the aggressive components of sweat, anti-perspirants and pre- and post-sun creams. For example, anti-perspirants containing DEET can dissolve synthetic fibres, including PES."""
