Huntsman and HeiQ launch silver antimicrobial product
10/10/2012
Pure by HeiQ technology is applicable at the finishing stage by padding on most fibres and fabric types, except wool. It is engineered with a silver microcomposite which brings protection and freshness to the textile for more than 100 home launderings.
The company claims it combats discoloration tendencies, does not require high-temperature curing and has no negative influence on hydrophilicity, handle or breathability.
Rohit Aggarwal, global vice-president of strategic marketing and planning at Huntsman Textile Effects, said: “This partnership complements our wide portfolio of textile effects and will result in the accelerated development of more highly differentiated products that will give our customers the added competitive edge.”
Pure by HeiQ is registered by bluesign and certified by the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 scheme for its use in textile applications and consumer products.
