Fiber masterbatch
Antibacterial performance built into polyester yarn at the spinning stage.
Overview
Hygiene built into
the fabric itself
Our fiber masterbatch adapts the GENIX liquid antibacterial agent to fibre-grade resin. Dosed during spinning, it gives the yarn itself antibacterial performance — not a surface finish that washes away.
In testing on 100% polyester, it reduced both Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae by 99.9%.
