PRLog -- COES, the innovative brand behind COES COPPERFINGER™
toe socks, has conducted independent laboratory testing to verify the presence of copper in its products. The experiment, designed to simulate real-world conditions, confirms that COES COPPERFINGER™
socks contain measurable amounts of copper, supporting their antimicrobial and odor-controlling properties.
Scientific Testing ProcessTo determine the actual copper content in COES COPPERFINGER™
toe socks, the following steps were carried out:
- Extracting the Toe Fabric for Analysis
- The toe section, where copper infusion is most concentrated, was carefully cut and prepared for testing.
- Multiple fabric samples of identical size were used for accuracy.
- Simulating Sweat Exposure
- The fabric samples were submerged in an artificial sweat solution, designed to replicate real perspiration.
- This solution contained essential sweat components like sodium chloride (NaCl) and lactic acid, which facilitate metal ion release.
- Extracting and Measuring Copper Content
- After 24 hours, the solution was analyzed using ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy) and AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy) to detect and measure copper ions.
- The test revealed a copper concentration of 5090 mg/kg, confirming the presence of copper in the fabric.
- Assessing Longevity of Copper Content
- The experiment also considered potential copper loss over time, including through wear and washing.
- Findings suggest that while some copper may gradually decrease with extended use, significant amounts remain embedded in the fabric.
Key Findings - COES COPPERFINGER™ toe socks contain a verified copper infusion, which can interact with sweat to release beneficial copper ions.
- The antimicrobial and odor-resistant properties of the socks are supported by the presence of copper.
- Further testing can assess the longevity of copper content after repeated washing and prolonged use.
