A New, Durable Antimicrobial Finish for Textiles

AEM 5700 Antimicrobial (3-trimethoxysilylpropyldimethyloctadecyl ammonium chloride)+ imparts a durable, antimicrobial finish to textiles. The finish protects the fabric against bacteria and fungi, which cause deterioration. It also inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria in in vitro tests. In vivo organoleptic tests confirm the practicality of this concept under actual use conditions on socks.
