Microban International, a pioneer in odor control technology, recently launched its newest innovation, Freshology™, at the ISPO trade show in Munich. This state-of-the-art solution, which is currently patent-pending, aims to tackle a variety of unpleasant odors and keep textiles fresher for longer periods. The company asserts that Freshology offers impressive performance by neutralizing a wide spectrum of scents, making it a game-changing addition to the textile industry.
Designed to comply with stringent testing standards, Freshology has successfully met the GB/T 33610 and ISO 17299 criteria. These standards evaluate the efficiency against four of the most common odor-causing substances: isovaleric acid, acetic acid, ammonia, and nonenal. Ryan Scott, the lead chemist at Microban, highlighted the innovative approach behind Freshology, stating that it effectively traps a broad range of body odors, providing a significant advantage over products that only address specific scents.
The technology is an integral part of synthetic materials like polyester, nylon, and spandex, allowing it to capture odors until the fabric is washed. During the washing process, these trapped odors are released, restoring the product's effectiveness. Freshology's non-ionic nature ensures compatibility with additional treatments during manufacturing, maintaining the integrity of the fabric.
Moreover, unlike other solutions that may use heavy metals, Freshology is free from such components, presenting a more appealing option for manufacturers and consumers alike. Additionally, its adaptability to existing manufacturing processes makes it a practical choice for textile production.
Microban invites industry attendees to explore Freshology first-hand at its booth during ISPO Munich, where James Clayton, Microban’s Director of Innovations, will deliver daily presentations.
