Microban International Launches EcoFresh Technology
Engineered to capture a wide spectrum of body and environmental odorants, EcoFresh delivers lasting freshness and performance for apparel, gear, and textiles. This cutting-edge technology is tailored specifically for those living active and outdoor lifestyles, ensuring a robust solution against unpleasant odors.
Revolutionary Odor-Capture Performance
EcoFresh is designed to tackle a diverse array of odor sources, including sweat, body odor, smoke, and even fish smells. Its fast-acting capabilities work in real-time to prevent fabrics from becoming overwhelmed by unwanted scents. This innovative solution not only outperforms traditional activated carbon fabrics but also allows for unmatched flexibility across various fabric types and colors, thus enhancing the lifespan of materials such as polyester, nylon, spandex, and cotton.
Innovative Offerings for Manufacturers
The EcoFresh technology consists of two main variants: EH1000, which works seamlessly with moisture-wicking agents, and ER1000, designed for use with durable water repellents and added binders. This technology can be integrated into existing manufacturing processes—like padding and spray applications—without the need for complex additional steps. Moreover, its nonionic nature ensures compatibility in different applications, making it a perfect fit for activewear, uniforms, camping gear, and more.
Commitment to Sustainability and Quality
As part of its commitment to quality, EcoFresh is currently undergoing OEKO-TEX certification alongside bluesign approval. These certifications not only validate its performance but also signify Microban's dedication to adhering to the highest industry benchmarks for safety and environmental responsibility.
Debuting At Major Events
Microban International is set to showcase EcoFresh at two significant industry events. Attendees can experience the innovative odor-control solutions at Performance Days in Munich and the Functional Fabric Fair in Oregon. At these events, participants are encouraged to visit Microban's booths to learn how EcoFresh redefines norms in odor management.
