Sports and Fitness clothes are the fastest expanding section of the global textile industry – and represent a major opportunity for SonoChem technology.
A wide variety of undesirable chemicals are now used to give these specialized clothes particular characteristics. Various regulatory agencies have commenced studies in relation to the potential effects of some of these chemicals on the skin.
One such chemical regarded as a toxic substance by various environmental agencies is Triclosan, used as a major antimicrobial to avoid unpleasant sweat odours.
In the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has already banned Triclosan from antiseptic and antibacterial hand rubs and hand washes.
SonoChem’s antimicrobial copper nanoparticle sports clothing will offer the same or better antimicrobial qualities at a lower cost, and will be safe to use.
