New magnesium-based anti-odour solution
12/11/2024
The mineral is harvested in the Dead Sea (ICL received a British government concession in the north part of the Dead Sea in 1929). The magnesium chloride is extracted using the simplest production process possible, the company claims. It is currently seeking bluesign certification for this new product to confirm its commitment to high environmental standards.
The finish can be applied to woven, knit and non-woven fabrics. ICL has had its finish tested by Italian laboratory CompLife. Thirty 30 subjects were asked to conduct running sessions on a treadmill wearing unwashed and washed treated shirts made from both cotton and polyester. Afterwards, subjects were asked to fill out a questionnaire. 93% of respondents said that TextiMag counteracted bad smell formulation during sporting activities and 90% perceived a feeling of comfort while wearing the tops. Bureau Veritas Taiwan used a gas chromatography method (ISO 17299-3) to assess the finish’s deodorant property on nylon, polyester and cotton textiles, with very positive results for TextiMag.
