Vestagen partners Schoeller for antimicrobial fabrics
06/02/2014
Vestex fabrics are engineered to have robust liquid repellency and embedded antimicrobial properties, along with enhanced breathability and comfort. The company's initial focus is on medical scrubs and other protective apparel for healthcare workers.
"This expanded agreement establishes Vestagen as the premier healthcare partner of Schoeller and caps four years of productive collaboration between our two companies," said Uncas Favret, president and CEO of Vestagen.
Schoeller's fluid barrier binds to individual fibres and is incorporated into the structure of Vestex. The high repellency works synergistically with Vestagen's embedded antimicrobial technology, which is effective against a broad spectrum of organisms. Vestagen has incorporated a second Schoeller technology into Vestex that wicks away moisture from inside the fabric and promotes evaporation.
