Questions about SHUTOUT’s patented SilverSync+ Technology

No 2 things are alike, the same applies to our patented SilverSync+ Technology. SHUTOUT silver has been relentlessly tested and reworked in every aspect to give our customers the best. Best in safety and effectiveness!

1. Is silver safe to touch on my skin?

SHUTOUT silver is made from pure silver, which has been used in medicine for centuries to prevent and treat diseases & infections. Also, NASA uses silver to maintain water purity for their astronauts in space.

Furthermore, dermatological tests show that silver does not cause irritation to skin; especially when compared to manmade chemical disinfectants.

2. Can silver cause skin allergies?

Pure silver does not actually cause new skin allergies. In some rare cases people already have an allergy/sensitivity to silver, and in that case should avoid coming in contact with it (the same goes for someone who is allergic to mangos staying away from mango pie).

In most cases where people seem to have an allergy/sensitivity to silver, it is actually the impurities blended in with the silver causing the adverse reaction. This is often seen with jewellery where nickel is more commonly the cause of the problem.

3. Is a bacteria free environment always good?

The bacteria and fungi found on your clothing, hands, body and other surfaces can cause problems for humans. SHUTOUT SilverSync+ products are intended to target areas of excess bacteria and fungi, where too much exists.

4. How much bacteria is eliminated? And how long does the anti-bacterial protection last?

SilverSync+ becomes infused into the pores of a material, acting as a deodorizing and sterilizing protection for extended safety, leaving your items bacteria and fungus free. This creates a maximum elimination of impurities of 99.9% and can last for up to 30 days, until the silver oxidizes.

5. Are there any risks of silver causing cancer?

No, there are no carcinogenic risks associated with silver. In fact, medical research is showing that silver can cause significant activity against human cancer cells, especially breast cancer referred to as the ‘MB157’ line of cells. The following link summarizes some on-going cancer research involving silver: National Research Center on Nanotech. Additionally, Harvard Medical School reports silver to improve the healing of “indolent wounds” and to “regenerate damaged tissue.”

6. Is it safe for my baby’s clothes?

SHUTOUT SilverSync+ protects your baby with more healthy washing and disinfecting of diapers, baby clothes, blankets and underwear. With SHUTOUT SilverSync+, bacteria is thoroughly removed to create a safe, hygienic environment without the use of chemical disinfectants or fragrances that can easily irritate the skin and respiratory system of an infant (just like adults).

7. Will using SHUTOUT cost more? Or can it save me money?

SHUTOUT SilverSync+ lets you be more resource friendly by enabling sanitization without having to go through high-temperature washing cycles. Additionally, because of the long-term effect of the product you will clean less with a less abrasive disinfecting solution.

8. Is silver safe? Is the silver safe for my children?

Silver has been used for centuries to prevent and treat diseases & infections. Silver coins were used in ancient Greece & Rome as a disinfectant for the storage of water and other liquids. Toxicology test results indicated no harmful effects even on Oral Tests. NASA still uses silver to maintain water purity on the space shuttle. Pure silver is equally safe for children, pregnant women and the elderly.

9. CAN SILVER CAUSE HEAVY METAL POISONING?

The claim that silver can cause toxic nephropathy or heavy metal poisoning is being made by both pseudo-scientists and the uniformed news media. The statement shows a complete lack of even the most basic scientific knowledge about silver. Toxic nephropathy is defined as “Any functional or morphologic change in the kidney produced by an ingested, injected, inhaled, or absorbed drug, chemical, or biologic agent.” Probably the most correct and widely accepted authority on the subject would be the MERCK Manual Of Diagnosis And Treatment. The 17th edition of the manual, on page 1880, shows the complete list of heavy metals that can cause heavy metal poisoning. The list includes a number of metals like copper and iron that are found in everyday vitamins, but silver is not listed in any form. It was not accidently forgotten from the list, it was not listed in the comprehensive list because it does not cause the problem. Listed under “Methemoglobin formers” the Merck does list sodium nitrite as a cause of nephropathy, the importance of this being that if silver is mixed with heavy salt or sodium products, it could be classified as causing nephropathy, not because of the silver, but because of the heavy amount of salt contained in the matrix of the combined product. The heavy use of silver nitrate in the medical industry (both past and present) may have led people to the common, but incorrect misconception about silver.

10. Is SHUTOUT SilverSync+ safe for the environment?

Each SHUTOUT product needs to be an approved product and is required to have safety information, and according to that information a toxic spill or EPA reportable spill amount is required to be printed in the product MSDS sheet (Material Safety Data Sheet). For example, a chlorine-type cleaning product (found for open purchase on store shelves right now) has a toxic spill rating of about three gallons, meaning that a spill of three gallons or more must be reported to the EPA and handled by HAZMAT authorities. In comparison, SHUTOUT’s highest concentration silver product has a toxic spill rating of 12,500,000 gallons. An oil tanker will hold about a million gallons, which means that 12.5 oil tankers full of the SilverSync+ in the athletic spray would have to spill their entire loads of the product together to be deemed a toxic event to the environment. The management of SHUTOUT Solutions believes that there is no tank or vat large enough in the entire world that could hold and subsequently spill enough of the SHUTOUT product to actually be reportable as a toxic spill to the environment. In other words, SHUTOUT Solutions product is perhaps the safest disinfectant product, for environmental reasons, ever approved to kill bacteria, mold, yeast and other pathogens.
