Microban Introduces Advanced Freshology Technology
Freshology leverages cutting-edge performance, neutralizing various odors efficiently to keep textiles fresher for extended periods.
Microban International has announced the launch of its new Freshology technology, set to make waves at the upcoming ISPO Munich event. This innovative, patent-pending solution focuses on combatting odors with inspiration from nature, ensuring a refreshing experience for users.
Revolutionary Approach to Odor Control
The Freshology technology stands out by offering unmatched performance, effectively neutralizing a variety of odors that commonly afflict fabrics. It has been rigorously tested and meets the GB/T 33610 and ISO 17299 standards, focusing on four major odorants: isovaleric acid, acetic acid, ammonia, and nonenal. This positions Freshology as a groundbreaking solution to everyday unpleasant smells.
"The development of Freshology involved meticulous balancing and optimizing the performance of diverse chemical profiles," shared Ryan Scott, the senior product development chemist at Microban. He highlighted the key consumer advantages: this technology cleverly traps multiple types of body odors, moving beyond outdated products that only target specific odors. Furthermore, it enhances moisture control while making treated fabrics softer and more pleasant to the touch.
Applications and Benefits
Freshology is integrated into synthetic materials such as polyester, nylon, and spandex during the finishing process. This allows for the effective capture of odors until the fabric undergoes washing. During the wash, the technology releases these trapped odors, renewing the fabric's effectiveness for the next use. Notably, as a nonionic formulation, Freshology can include other technological treatments during manufacturing without compromising the material's integrity.
The technology being heavy metal-free adds to its appeal, making it a safer choice compared to alternatives that utilize metal-based chemistries. It is designed to seamlessly integrate into existing mill processes, making it an attractive option for manufacturers looking to enhance their products.
Engage with Microban
Visitors can learn more about Freshology at the Microban booth during ISPO Munich, showcasing insights led by James Clayton, director of innovations at Microban, each day at 10:00 a.m. This provides a great opportunity for attendees to engage directly with the team and discover in-depth information about the technology.
