Merging antimicrobial technologies with real world textile products have been an industry-wide challenge.
The predominant method of applying antimicrobials as a surface treatment coating during fabric finishing or garment level production.Surface applications antimicrobial effectiveness over time.
• washing laundering cause antimicrobial, the surface treatments to wash off leach out.
• Chemicals can detach and can end up in waterways, referred to as ‘leaching’ which affects marine life.
A coating is only a compromise, the solution is a permanent technology that is embedded into the polymer at the point of manufacturing.
Feeding after polycondensation, before the spinning in the in form of a masterbatch. That make the process flexible and the production attractive also for jumbo lines.
Withstand high temperature commercial laundering.
Can be washed using bleach Clorox or any type of detergents.
