Sanitized, a leading producer of antimicrobial hygiene functions and material protection for textiles and plastics, has developed a new product for long-lasting antimicrobial protection for flexible polymer applications in response to the growing global antimicrobial market demands. Besides thermal stability and compatibility with most formulations, the new Sanitized PL 14-32 is said to provide water resistance, as well as high UV resistance and no yellowing after UV exposure.
The company will exhibit its latest antimicrobial solutions at the upcoming Cinte Techtexil trade fair for nonwovens and technical textiles that will take place in Shanghai in October 2016.
Companies that use biocidal products to protect polymers and textiles from bacterial and fungal growth were faced with many changes in recent years, including regulatory developments that limit the available types of biocides.
