ANTIMICROBIAL AND ANTIVIRAL MODIFIED YARN

PROLEN® SILTEX is effective against the growth of bacteria and reduces the activity of viruses, helping so to reduced unpleasant smells and keep hygienic freshness.

The antibacterial effect of silver has been known already for many centuries. Silver ions inhibit the growth of bacteria, reduce unpleasant smells, keep a biological balance of your skin and set hygienic freshness to the product during sports and leisure activities. Due to the fact that the bacteriostatic agent is applied to the core of the yarn and not to its surface, it doesn`t migrate from the fabric and permanently remains in it even after multiple washing. Except for antibacterial activity, Prolen® Siltex has high antiviral activity.

PROLEN® SILTEX has been created for underwear, sports garments, workwear, socks, filling material for shoes, bedclothes, lining and upholstery to protect in environments which require high hygienic standards.
