Polyguard sets new standard for antimicrobial and antiviral protection in textiles
November 02, 2021
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, textile manufacturers around the world have been racing to incorporate technologies that combat the virus and provide consumers with protection that reduces the potential exposure related to the use of their products. Textiles used in the manufacture of personal protection equipment, medical apparel and equipment, performance sportswear and hospitality related service products are just a few examples.
In July 2020, after a 15-year effort, Poly-Technical Solutions Ltd. (PTS), of Montville, New Jersey, was granted a Non-Conditional Product registration for the use of its Polyguard textile-based antimicrobial treatment by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), an independent executive agency of the United States federal government tasked with environmental protection matters.
