Antimicrobial Fabrics

Antimicrobial fabrics are used across various industries because they inhibit the growth and spread of bacteria, mold, mildew, and other microbes, without this layer of protection, many fabric products would succumb to contamination and have to be discarded. Here are some common areas where antimicrobial fabrics are frequently used:

Healthcare Facilities, Hospitality Industry, Sports Facilities, Educational Facilities, Catering Facilities and Residential Sectors.

An antimicrobial is applied to a fabric to help prevent the growth and spread of bacteria and other microorganisms that could develop on the material’s surface. This means that the antimicrobial is constantly working against microorganisms and prolonging the life of the fabric. For medical facilities, investing in antimicrobial textiles is one way to ensure the material’s longevity and help keep replacement costs down.

Louvolite antimicrobial fabrics meet ASTM G21 standards, and some are treated with Ultra-Fresh*.
