For better textile safety.
What does antimicrobial mean?
Our antimicrobial treatment prevents the surface of the textile from providing a breeding ground for microbes. The technology also increases the freshness of the garment by eliminating unwanted odors. The treatment, which is performed during the dyeing stage of the fabric, forms a polymeric film on the fabric, allowing active silver ions to pass through. The treatment stops the growth of microbes and kills them. The treatment is resistant to industrial washing and high temperatures. The environmentally friendly treatment is completely safe for humans.
Lasts over 100 washes.
The treatment is resistant to industrial washing and high temperatures. According to studies, the antimicrobial effect remains at a very high level for at least 100 industrial washings.
Efficacy verified by microbial measurements.
The antimicrobial efficacy has been tested using the SFS-EN ISO 20743 method under laboratory conditions. The test was performed using Orion Diacnostica's Hygicult TPC test. The same test is used in hospital laundries to demonstrate microbiologically clean hospital linen. The measurement used control garments made from the same fabric, which had not been treated. In the self-monitoring of hospital laundries, the limit value for microbiologically clean linen is < 2CFU/cm2.
99.8%
of microbes have died within 24 hours of contamination.
Over 90%
workwear were microbiologically clean after the work shift.
Up to 6 days
The shirt that had been used without washing was still microbiologically below the limit value for clean laundry. The control shirts were all above the limit value after just two days of use.
