[nanoPost] Anti-microbials that can be used on textiles without impairing the water absorbency

The company’s anti-microbials can be used on textiles without impairing the water absorbency or softness of the product. They are also compatible with most finishes. The technology is a freshness enhancing treatment that works by controlling odour-generating bacteria on textiles.

It is currently available for cellulosic fibres (cotton, viscose), and is based on the active agent PHMB. The company have recently developed a product for use on fabrics made of synthetic fibres, which is available for trials.
