LAS VEGAS: The one of largest privately-held textile and chemical manufacturers in the world, Milliken® & Company has announced a new antimicrobial-charged fabric technology called BioSmart™ that harnesses the sanitising power of EPA-registered chlorine bleach and helps to reduce the spread of infection-causing bacteria and viruses, including emerging antibiotic-resistant microbes, said Travis Greer, senior technologist for Milliken’s Apparel and Specialty Fabrics division in a release.
The product made with BioSmart are key to effective infection prevention strategies and programs in the workplace, in community settings and at home and extends the capabilities of EPA-registered chlorine base sanitisers – proven hygienic agents that do not promote resistant microbes, to maintain an effective antimicrobial barrier against contamination.
The technology can be applied to synthetics, cotton and poly/cotton fabrics and are ideal for industries where bacterial contamination is a concern, including food processing and services, healthcare, public safety, hospitality, sports apparel, activewear and military.
BioSmart fabrics are non-irritating to the skin and have passed the ISO skin irritation and skin sensitivity tests an it is both durable and effective for the life of most garments as the fabric technology literally recharges after every washing, thus providing a longer shelf life and optimising value for manufacturers, laundries and consumers alike.
In addition, BioSmart fabrics are odorless, dry quickly and wick moisture and is currently available in butcher coats and other garments for the food safety and processing industries through G&K Services.
BioSmart is a patent-pending textile technology that binds chlorine molecules to the surface of fabrics.
Founded in 1865, Milliken & Company is a privately held textile and chemical company that employs approximately 10,000 associates worldwide and operates nearly 50 manufacturing facilities in the US and eight countries.
