Non-Phthalate Manufacture Process

For many years children's products have been under scrutiny for the inclusion of the controversial family of chemicals known as Phthalates. Commonly used in soft plastic products, phthalates have been the centre of debate with respect to teething agents and pacifiers. Despite conflicting findings on both sides of the debate, recently the European Union decided to ban the use of 6 common Phthalates in all children's toys and related articles. Currently the Australian government through NICNAS is reviewing these chemicals and due to report their findings and recommendations in the first half of 2007.

Silver Nano technology

What is it?

Silver Nano is a specialised process that bonds silver to selected materials at a molecular level. This permanently infuses or dissolves the nano-silver into the material. As such it is not a coating; it will not leach, and cannot be washed off.

Why? And how it works

Silver has long been considered a powerful and natural antibiotic and antibacterial. When the tiny Silver Nano particles touch or come into contact with bacteria, they kill off the bacteria and viruses, and this in turn is said to eliminate bad odours as well.

Silver with its antibacterial, antifungal, and deodorizing effects, has been used for the treatment of medical ailments for over 100 years. It has also been approved by the US FDA and used for many years in beauty products. Silver is known to naturally sterilize more than 650 kinds of bacteria and to suppress virtually any virus (The Journal of Nanotechnology, 2005).

What this Means

Your Bubba Mat™ has this revolutionary technology incorporated in its manufacture. As a parent you can be sure that by encompassing these antibacterial, antifungal, and deodorizing attributes, your Bubba Mat™ provides the most safe and hygienic place for your child to play, eat, and grow.
