(Filed Under wholesale Accessories News). Sanitized AG, an antimicrobial hygiene protection company, has announced the launch of a new product: Sanitized Silver, an antimicrobial finish that can be applied without a binder, not only during the exhaust process, but now also during the padding process.

Sanitized Silver, which was developed and produced in Switzerland, is based on silver salt as opposed to metallic silver, which according to the company, is scientifically recognized as having natural antimicrobial properties. When the product is applied as a finish it acts on the bacterial cell membranes, “which prevents their growth and hinders the reproduction of the bacteria responsible for the development of unpleasant odors – offering optimal freshness and comfort,” said a statement released by the company.

“This is good news to textile manufacturers because this means delicate and stretchable fabrics now can be protected against bacteria and odor by using Sanitized Silver,” said Darrell Burnette, the company’s new business development manager for North America and also a chemist by training with 20 years of textile/specialty chemical experience.

The company outlined many benefits of Sanitized Silver, some of which include: improves wearing comfort of clothing and does not alter the feel of soft-touch fabrics; is essential for fabrics, especially polyester, used in performance clothing found in sportswear, outerwear and workwear as well as knitwear such as T-shirts, underwear and socks; has a high washing resistance of 50 or more wash cycles at 140 degrees Fahrenheit; is suited for all types of fabric construction; and lastly, it allows for better handling since it is a ready-to-use solution and does not need to be combined with other products such as binder.
