Ascend Launches Acteev Protecttm Antibacterial Fiber Technology

Recently, Ascend launched Acteev ProtectTM antibacterial fiber technology, a breakthrough technology that can effectively inhibit the growth of mold, fungi and other microorganisms, and achieve long-term antibacterial and clean textiles. It is reported that this innovative technology is currently applying for a patent, covering textile fabrics and non-woven fabrics, and can be used in masks, filter elements, clothing and other fields.

Aoshengde has been focusing on the development of Acteev ProtectTM technology for several years. Due to the rapid growth of demand in the global antibacterial and bacteriostatic market and the shortage of materials, Aoshengde cooperates with independent laboratories to carry out tests, centralize the allocation of resources to accelerate the speed of product launch and expand the production scale. Zhang Lu, the global vice president of Aoshengde ActeevTM Business Unit, said: "At present, the scarcity of materials in the global antimicrobial market continues, and our innovative technology can quickly respond to market demand and bring consumers a safe and comfortable experience."

Acteev ProtectTM combines active zinc ion technology with polyamide based textiles. Active zinc ions are embedded in polymer matrix, which can achieve durable protection compared with surface coating. Vikram Gopal, senior vice president of Aoshengde Global Technology, said: "Zinc can easily enter the cells of bacteria, and is more active than other basic elements such as manganese and magnesium, so it will block the channels for bacteria to absorb other elements, making microorganisms unable to grow or reproduce. At present, most products with silver as antibacterial agent may have adverse effects on the environment, and zinc has obtained GRAS safety certification from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). "

Harrie Schoots, chairman of the American Association of Textile Dyers and Chemists and head of the Aoshengde textile business, said: "Compared with other types of polyamides, PA66 textiles have considerable advantages in textile applications. This material is wear-resistant, not easy to fuzz and pilling, soft, excellent draping, and convenient for dyeing. Professional or sportswear made of Acteev ProtectTM fabric is durable and comfortable, and can withstand multiple washes without changing performance. "

Acteev ProtectTM antibacterial fiber technology is the first product provided by Aoshengde in the form of finished fabric. Aoshengde plans to expand this product line in the next few months, including PA66 fabrics for medical applications and engineering plastics for high-frequency contact surfaces.
