Together with Archroma, our global expert partner for textile additives, we were present at this year’s Techtextil in Frankfurt, Germany. Three experts discussed odor management solutions for textiles. Also in focus: the brand-new Sanitized® OX20, an odor-neutralizing product from the Sanitized® Odorex™ product family.
The human body regulates its temperature by sweating. Furthermore, the body responds to a stressful situation with heavy sweating. Thanks to odor-adsorbing technologies, sweating people have nothing to fear about unpleasant sweat odor in their textiles.
The use of antimicrobial technologies does not have to contradict a sportswear brand’s sustainability goals. Sport textiles can benefit from a prolonged useful life when utilizing antimicrobials, and consumers can reduce their use of resources in their households by laundering textiles less frequently. From a sustainability standpoint, Sanitized® Puretec™ is the optimal technology for odor-free sportswear.
With the trend of «Athleisure», sportswear has become a part of our everyday lives, even at work. As we are all aware, synthetic textiles are likely to rapidly develop a bad smell. Because sportswear is often made from synthetic fibers, the need for integrated odor management properties is obvious.
Metal-based antimicrobials have been a part of odor-free sportswear for many decades. With the increasing support for sustainability and requirements for responsible use of all chemicals, metal-based solutions face increasing pressure in the sportswear industry. Metal-free antimicrobial solutions are ready to rise to the occasion.
Sanitized® Puretec™, a family of quaternary silane (quat-silane) based antimicrobial finishes, provides a sustainable, non-metal solution to odor control in textiles. Sanitized® Puretec™ is a unique technology on the market. It performs optimally with all textile substrates.
With an increasing market demand for metal-free and particle-free antimicrobial technologies, many of today’s leading brands and retailers are looking for alternatives to reduce their environmental impact. The Sanitized® Puretec™ family of quaternary silane (quat-silane) based antimicrobial technologies provides treated textiles with a proven, sustainable solution for long-lasting freshness.
Labels act as points of orientation for navigating the labyrinth of information. It goes without saying that the OEKO-TEX® brand is one such label. The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification is known worldwide for guaranteeing that each part of a textile is tested for and free from harmful substances.
