Microban International Introduces EcoFresh Odor-Capturing Technology
Microban International, a frontrunner in odor control solutions, has recently unveiled the innovative EcoFresh™ technology, specifically designed for the active and outdoor lifestyle. This cutting-edge technology addresses a wide range of body and environmental odors, providing lasting freshness and performance for clothing, equipment, and textiles.
The EcoFresh technology is engineered to target and trap various odors—such as sweat, body scent, smoke, and even more persistent smells like fish—through a fast-acting mechanism that works in real-time. By preventing treated materials from becoming overwhelmed by odors, EcoFresh promises a powerful reduction in unpleasant scents, allowing users to stay fresh, even in challenging environments.
In a statement, Souvik Nandi, Vice President of Technology and Innovation at Microban International, expressed pride in the new technology, calling EcoFresh a comprehensive solution that offers exceptional odor capture performance. He highlighted that this technology not only benefits end consumers but also facilitates seamless integration for industrial partners across a broad spectrum of applications.
How EcoFresh Works
EcoFresh operates through two main components: EH1000, suitable for wicking treatments, and ER1000, compatible with durable water repellents and customer-added binders. This technology can be easily applied during standard manufacturing processes—including exhaust, padding, and spraying—without needing additional steps. Its non-ionic composition and customizable compatibility make EcoFresh highly versatile for various applications, from sportswear and hiking outfits to uniforms and filtration materials. All while maintaining the original comfort and performance of the fabrics.
Currently, EcoFresh holds certifications from OEKO-TEX® and bluesign®, validating its performance and adherence to industry standards. Microban International will showcase EcoFresh™ at two forthcoming events: Performance Days in Munich, Germany (October 29-30, booth H42), and Functional Fabric Fair in Oregon, USA (November 11-13, booth 784). Attendees are invited to visit Microban's booths to see firsthand how EcoFresh is redefining odor control innovation.
