Trevira Bioactive® is the new high-tech fibre
Trevira®, the developer and manufacturer of functional fibres, has created a high-tech polyester fibre and filaments that provide active and permanent protection against micro-organisms. Trevira® bioactive fibres prevent the growth of bacteria and simultaneously reduce the formation of unpleasant odours.
What makes the high-tech fibre of Trevira Bioactive® so unique?
In the case of many products on the market, the active antimicrobial agent is later applied to the finished product, or the product is treated with migrating substances. In Trevira Bioactive ®, the active agent is permanently and unchangeably integrated into the fibres. This additive produces a permanent antimicrobial effect, which is not affected either by washing or by usage. The fundamental properties of Trevira® technical fibres remain unaffected by the added function of the silver ions. Thus, Trevira® with Bioactive® is smoothing its advance into the world of textiles of the future.
The antimicrobial effect has been certified by independent, external institutes.
The SAFETY of Trevira Bioactive®
Trevira Bioactive® is harmless for the skin (Hohenstein Institute, May 2008):
The Hohenstein Institute for Apparel Physiology confirms that Trevira Bioactive® produces no harmful effects on the skin flora. On the contrary: Silver additives firmly anchored in the fibre material prevent the growth of bacteria on the surface of the fibres.
Trevira Bioactive® and Antimicrobial Workwear (University of Malaga, December 2007):
The research team of the University of Malaga tested Trevira Bioactive® materials used in the production of workwear. The antimicrobial effects were unequivocally proven. The prognosis of Dr. Alberto Mariscal Larrubia, professor for preventive medicine at the Malaga University, foresees an enormous need for apparel and products with antimicrobial properties.
Trevira Bioactive® is approved by Öko-Tex:
Due to the permanent integration of the silver ions in the fibres, Trevira
Bioactive® is classified as absolutely harmless for the environment.
