Advanced Bio-Fiber to treat textile toxins
23/03/2009
Chief scientist, Dr Andy Kielbania, said: "Ogiene and Ygiene can be used in the treatment of fibres and textiles for a market which is becoming increasingly concerned about dangerous chemicals and pathogens which attach to clothing, especially those who are at high risk for such exposures or where markets place an emphasis on these concerns.”
Ogiene is the trade name given to the company’s formulation that eliminates various dangerous chemicals including formaldehyde, which has been found in lingerie and other garments. Ygiene is the trade name for its formulation that eliminates dangerous micro organisms. These micro organisms found in garments can cause the wearer to become ill or even cause the spread of infections.
"For people who are prone to sores, allergies to certain textiles, chemicals, and pathogens found in garments and for those who come into contact with bodily fluids, the ongoing protection provided by Ogiene and Ygiene could prove an important element in maintaining personal and family health," said Stephen Browand, president and CEO of BioNeutral Group, Inc. "There is an existing market selling garments to diabetics, athletes, students, children and those who are recuperating from medical treatments and this is a billion dollar market which we intend to enter."
