Kesum-Silver Antibacterial Spray is an innovative fabric-care solution developed from advanced green nanotechnology research at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). Formulated using silver nanoparticles (AgNP) biosynthesized from Persicaria odorata<\/em> (kesum) leaf extract, this spray offers a safe, eco-friendly, and effective way to protect fabrics from microbial contamination.<\/p>\n

The natural phytochemical compounds in kesum act as reducing and stabilizing agents, producing highly active silver nanoparticles with strong antibacterial properties . When applied to textiles, these nanoparticles adhere to fabric surfaces and help inhibit the growth of bacteria such as E. coli<\/em> and Staphylococcus aureus<\/em>, which are commonly associated with odors and hygiene concerns .<\/p>\n

Designed for everyday use, Kesum-Silver provides long-lasting antibacterial protection for clothing, sportswear, and other fabric materials\u2014bridging scientific innovation with practical, sustainable hygiene solutions.<\/p>\n
