Odour prevention in textiles

About

Peppermint is a natural, renewable resource with antibacterial properties from the menthol in its essential oil. It’s this natural disinfecting power that forms the basis for Sanitized® Mintactiv. The peppermint oil used here is specially refined for use in the textile industry, is metal-free, 100 % natural. Another benefit of the new and sustainable Sanitized® odor-management technology is a binder-free application, which offers outstanding effectiveness against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as a high wash resistance. Polyester sport and functional textiles treated with Odoractiv10 are protected against “permastink”. Already a holder of the Swiss Technology Award, the Odoractiv10 odor control technology can now carry the bluesign® sustainability label, the Skin Friendly certification from the Hohenstein Institute and the ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® label. SANITIZED AG has been a bluesign® system partner for over 10 years. An unwelcome odor can quickly develop in polyester sport and functional clothing, even if freshly washed. This is “permastink”. It’s a challenge to the textile industry as it generally reduces the attractiveness and market opportunities of sport and functional clothing made from polyester. The patented, non-biocidal Odoractiv10 technology provides specific solutions and sales arguments for the end products. The odor-causing molecules can’t stick to the textile surface and are washed out completely in a normal wash cycle. The treatment has an adsorbing effect. The odors are “trapped” and repeatedly expelled during a normal wash cycle. Another characteristic: The treatment with Odoractiv10 doesn’t apply an additional binder system. As with all of our products, SANITZED AG uses no nano technology. The safety and tolerability have been confirmed by the Skin Friendly certification from the Hohenstein Institute and ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® label. These have now been joined by the bluesign® accreditation.
