This helps reduces waste and energy, saving natural resources. The Antiviral Masterbatch allows the final product to remain fully recyclable without a loss in performance, contributing to the common goal of a circular economy. The technology is very efficient and remains present and effective throughout the life of the product. The antibacterial efficacy was tested and remained after up to 200 washing cycles at 40°C. All this is possible without impacting the fibers’ physical properties or yellowing.
