Microban International Launches EcoFresh: A Breakthrough in Odor Capture Technology

Microban International, renowned for its cutting-edge solutions in odor management, has proudly unveiled its latest innovation, EcoFresh. This remarkable new technology is specifically tailored to meet the needs of active individuals and outdoor enthusiasts, providing effective odor capture even in challenging environments.

The Science Behind EcoFresh

EcoFresh is designed to combat a wide range of unpleasant odors, including sweat, body odor, and environmental scents such as smoke and fish odors. By utilizing a proprietary formula, EcoFresh captures these odorants effectively, preventing treated materials from becoming saturated or overwhelmed. Its performance is remarkable, significantly outpacing standard activated carbon fabrics.

What makes EcoFresh stand out among other odor control solutions is its quick-response capability. The technology works in real-time, grasping odors as they occur, thereby maintaining the freshness of the fabric treated with EcoFresh. From polyester to rich polyester blends, spandex, nylon, cotton, and even non-woven materials including polypropylene, the versatility of EcoFresh allows for various applications without compromising on fabric comfort or performance.

Applications in Outdoor and Active Lifestyles

EcoFresh is particularly ideal for outdoor gear and clothing, such as sportswear, hiking and camping equipment, uniforms, filtration systems, and upholstery. Its ability to capture a diverse spectrum of odorants, including carboxylic acids and aldehydes, ensures a refreshing experience for wearers during rigorous physical activities.

Without requiring additional processing steps, EcoFresh integrates seamlessly into standard manufacturing processes. Its ionic composition and customizable compatibility means it can adapt to various applications effectively, ensuring peak performance while retaining material integrity.

An Industry Leader's Commitment to Quality

Microban International's commitment to excellence shines through in the development of EcoFresh. According to Souvik Nandi, Vice President of Technology and Innovation, EcoFresh represents the most comprehensive odor control solution in the company’s extensive portfolio.

Nandi states, "We’re thrilled to introduce EcoFresh as we believe it will deliver exceptional odor capture performance for end consumers while allowing for seamless integration for our manufacturing partners across diverse applications."

The EcoFresh technology comes in two primary versions: EH1000 for absorbent agents and ER1000 designed for durable water-repellent agents and customer-added binders. This flexibility makes EcoFresh a preferable choice for manufacturers aiming to enhance their product offerings.

Ensuring Industry Standards and Recognition

Currently, EcoFresh is undergoing certification processes for OEKO-TEX® and bluesign®, which are vital steps toward validating its performance and the company’s commitment to adhering to industry standards. The successful certification will reinforce Microban's position as an innovator in the realm of odor management solutions.

Upcoming Showcases

Microban International is set to showcase EcoFresh at two upcoming events: Performance Days in Munich, Germany, on October 29-30, and the Functional Fabric Fair in Oregon, USA, from November 11-13.
