20/05/2009

High-tech fabric manufacturer Active Sports Fabrics Group is to use SmartSilver antimicrobial additives in its Eclipse baselayer performance fabrics. 

Developed and produced by NanoHorizons, SmartSilver offers anti-odour benefits and material degradation protection without inhibiting the fabrics’ other performance features.

“Outdoor and action sports consumers truly value effective anti-odour performance in their apparel,” says Adam Clark of ASF Group in the US. “SmartSilver provides antimicrobial protection that really works plus it won’t wash out or wear off for the expected life of the garment. Another significant advantage is that SmartSilver’s proprietary nanotechnology won’t interfere with Eclipse’s other functional benefits such as wicking and breathability.”
