Antimicrobial textile enhanced with BactiBlock

Extra functionalities are becoming more and more demanded in textiles regardless of its final application. Let us not forget that not only aspects like colour, texture or design are valued when it comes to choosing an appropriate textile.

Among these functionalities, antimicrobial protection is becoming increasingly popular and with good reason. We should bear in mind that we can find many different kinds of textile surfaces around us susceptible to contain undesirable pathogen microorganisms: seats, walls, clothes, curtains, awnings, carpets or medical equipment, just to name a few.

BactiBlock can be applied during common textile finishing processes such as dip coating, padding, foaming or spraying. Other processes like extrusion, commonly used for synthetic fibres processing are also compatible with BactiBlock.

Depending on the process we will choose an appropriate format for BactiBlock: powder, pellets or dispersion. Polyester, nylon, viscose, acrylics or polyolefins are materials that can be enhanced by using BactiBlock.

The addition of BactiBlock in textile will help us to reduce bacteria, fungi and virus proliferation around us. At the same time, we will be sure of proposing a safe treatment. Silver is a worldwide approved active substance allowed in direct contact with the skin and even in medical treatments.
