FOR CLOTHING AND BEDDING
BIOCIDAL AND NON BIOCIDAL SOLUTIONS
For each layer of textiles we wear, for each pillow-cover 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 odours. At Devan, we found a way of chasing bad odours and disarming unhygienic surfaces. We offer biocidal and non-biocidal solutions. Environmentally safe and skin-friendly.
MICROBIAL GROWTH
Textiles are prone to microbial growth due to the abundance of sweat, moisture, humidity, warmth, dirt, dead skin cells or fibres. This often results in bad odours and can even pose health risks. As we delve into the reasons behind the growing need for odor control in textiles, it becomes evident that this innovation is not just about mitigating unpleasant smells but also about enhancing the overall user experience and addressing diverse industry needs.
WHY ODOUR CONTROL?
- Hygiene and Health Considerations
Odour control in textiles is essential to maintain hygiene standards, particularly in clothing that directly interacts with the skin. By inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria, textiles contribute to a healthier environment and reduce the risk of skin-related issues. - Extended Product Lifespan
Odour control technologies not only benefit the wearer but also contribute to the longevity of textile products. - Meeting Industry and Performance Standards
In various industries such as healthcare, hospitality, and active sports, textiles must meet stringent standards for hygiene and performance. Odor control in textiles ensures that these standards are not only met but exceeded. - Enhancing Sustainability
Odour control technologies offer an eco-friendly solution. By minimizing the need for frequent washing or premature disposal due to odour issues, textiles with built-in odour control contribute to reduced water consumption and environmental impact.
WASH LESS BuT STAY FRESH
As environmental concerns push us to use less water and energy, odour control treatments are an effective solution as they enable us to wash less and at lower temperatures without comprimising on comfort and hygiene.
Fabrics enhanced with Devan’s BI-OME® stay fresh and clean longer, which means you can wash them less often or at lower temperatures using different washing programs. This will save energy and water which could save you money but also helps to be kinder to the environment. Your garments will also last longer while maintaining their durable quality, which results in more savings in the long run.
Odour Breakdown® enable us to wash less and at lower temperatures without comprimising on comfort and hygiene.
Garments made off polyester are prone to the accumulation of bacteria and malodours, also reffered to as ‘permastink’.
Odour Breakdown® easily tackles this problem as it weakens the fixation of microbes on the fabric and allows them to be washed off more easily (even at low temperatures). On the fabric, the produced malodours are absorbed and neutralized.
