SANITIZED provides technology for textile manufacturers.

Consumer demand for natural products is growing, even when it comes to fighting unpleasant odors in clothing. Textile brands are listening and responding. They have embarked on a journey to find antimicrobial solutions derived from natural resources that are capable of meeting the growing demand of consumers for sustainability. 

SANITIZED AG has the answer: An antimicrobial treatment derived from natural peppermint oil. The technology goes by the name of Sanitized® Mintactiv 50 and it stops odors before they form on cotton textiles. It has a lasting effect, capable of withstanding 50 wash cycles. 

The effectiveness of peppermint oil was already popular in ancient Egypt times. The mint plant contains a menthol-based essential oil with antiviral, cholagogic, and antimicrobial properties. The raw material, peppermint from plantations, hasn’t changed at all. Peppermint is processed to produce an oil, further refined, and forms the foundation for Sanitized® Mintactiv 50, which is used by the textile industry. 

This natural and completely metal-free additive is effective against a wide variety of gram-positive bacteria, including staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It can be combined with other textile effects and is easy to apply using the extract or padding process. A binder is not necessary.Socks, underwear, shirts or towels made of cotton can be treated with the innovative hygiene function, Sanitized® Mintactiv 50. The wearer has an immediate and long-lasting sense of freshness which remains even after repeated washes thanks to its highly wash-resistant properties. 

Consumers long for natural and sustainably produced products. Sanitized® Mintactiv 50 offers a contemporary answer for more comfort in cotton textiles. SANITZED AG supports textile manufacturers in product development and provides know-how in the field of antimicrobial hygiene function as well as testing capacities.
