From exercise wear to performance dress shirts and undershirts, anti-odor technology and fabrics are everywhere.
Is anti-odor technology, however, effective? What is the mechanism behind it? Is it also true that anti-odor clothing is harmful to your health?
Today, we're going over everything there is to know about anti-odor technology. We'll deconstruct anti-odor technology, look into the connection between body odor and synthetic fabrics, and recommend the best anti-odor fabrics to keep you feeling fresh and confident.
WHAT IS ANTI-ODOR TECHNOLOGY?
The anti-odor technology captures and blocks or kills odor-causing bacteria that come from your clothes. It neutralizes the bacteria before it interacts with sweat, reduces the amount of body odor. When bacteria can't mix with the moisture from the sweat, odors vanishes and this is what anti-odor technology is about.
HOW ANTI-ODOR TREATMENT WORK?
Malodours can come from different sources: chemical and biological. The odor breakdown technology actively reduces chemical malodours (e.g. PU foam) by neutralization.
The Faibr-x technology prevents the development of biological malodours. Treatment has a dual activity in preventing the odors from a biological source and complexing the chemical malodours. For more details, see the technical details section
CAN BLANKETS, SOCKS, UNDERGARMENTS, TOWELS, AND SOFT TOYS BE TREATED WITH ADVANCED ANTI ODOR TECHNOLOGY?
Answer - For each mattress or pillow we sleep on, for each towel we wipe our face with, we have the same requirement: HYGIENE. Nobody likes the idea of microbes populating their textiles, attracted by moisture and dirt, causing health-discomfort and bad odors.
At Faibr-x, we found a way of chasing bad odors and disarming unhygienic surfaces. Environmentally safe and skin-friendly. And making sure your textiles stay soft!
WHAT IS AN ANTI VIRAL/ ANTI MICROBIAL TREATMENT FOR CLOTHES?
Antiviral/ antimicrobial treatment is a Nano-technology process of embedding nanometer-sized (1 Nanometer is 0.00000001 cm) spikes in the cloth fiber. When a virus or bacteria comes in contact with the cloth, this Nano spike attracts and physically destroys these virus/bacteria making them completely harmless.
ON WHAT ALL VIRUSES THE ANTI-ODOR TREATMENT HAVE BEENTESTED?
The Faibr-x Antiviral treatment has been tested by ISO18184 standards on MRSA, SARS-Cov2, Corona Virus, Influenza, H1N1, and double enveloped Vaccinia Virus.
ISN'T WEARING A MASK, FACE SHIELD, GLOVES ENOUGH? WHY DO MY CLOTHES HAVE TO BE ANTI-VIRAL?
Not all situations are risk-free: If you lean against high-touch surfaces, which may have been exposed to virus or bacteria, there may be more of a chance that your clothing could harbor the virus. And if you work traveling in public transport, or offices with high people density, or in a health care environment where the risk of your clothing being exposed to viral particles may increase.
HOW DO I KNOW IF THE CLOTH IS TREATED?
Faibr-x provides a unique QR code for each treated cloth. This QR code provides all information regarding treatment type, date, efficacy, and technical details. Also, customers can request for BPB test (only for Antiviral, antimicrobial, or anti-odor) at the collection center for further satisfaction.
HOW LONG WILL THE ANTI-ODOR TREATMENT LAST?
All Faibr-x treatment is effective up to 3 months or 10 normal home washes. The efficacy remains above 99% up to 10 washes.
