The treatment of textiles with Biocidium™’s antimicrobial additive K-yur 01™ protect processing materials as well as finished yarns and cloth against the ravages of microorganisms. The inherent properties of the textile fibers provide room for the growth of microorganisms. Besides, the structure of the substrates and the chemical processes may induce the growth of microbes. Humid and warm environment still aggravate the problem. Infestation by microbes cause cross infection by pathogens and development odor where the fabric is worn next to skin. In addition, the staining and loss of the performance properties of textile substrates are the results of microbial attack. Basically, with a view to protect the wearer and the textile substrate itself antimicrobial finish is applied to textile materials.
