Antimicrobial fabric is a man-made or natural fiber treated with an active ingredient that protects it from microbial growth.
How do microbes affect fabrics?
Synthetics, polyester, nylons, or elastane blend fabrics are naturally susceptible to odors and stains caused by bacteria. Unfortunately, washing alone does little to remove odor build-up and is not always effective at eliminating bacteria. Consequently, consumers increasingly seek textile and fabric products with built-in antimicrobial protection.
Fabrics treated with antimicrobial technology actively resist the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria, mold, and mildew. The result is a finished product that stays cleaner, fresher, and more durable for longer.
