Description

Fabric ‘Care’ is perfectly suitable for hospitals, thanks to its antimicrobial finishing that is resistant to bacteria and aggressive cleaning methods without fading color.

Its antimicrobial protective coating helps to prevent the growth of stains, odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew.

CLEANING

The fabric may be treated with selected disinfection and cleaning additives. Non-oxidizing cleaning agents may be applied according to manufacturer´s guidance by spraying or wiping. Due to the variety of different commercial substances, pre-tests should be done at a non-visible area in advance to prevent optical changes. Good experiences have been made using disinfectants based on BenzylAlkyldimethylammoniumchlorides such as Mikrobac® forte by Hartmann AG or active ingredients based on Phenoxyethanol, Aminopropyldodecylamine and Benzalkoniumchloride such as Incidin® Pro by Ecolab.

Antimicrobial according to AATCC 30 and 147 without the use of silver ions. The two components used for the antimicrobial properties are 2-Octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-on (OIT) and zinc-pyrithione.
