Microban’s recent market research It was found that in the post-epidemic era, consumers’ attitudes towards products have also changed. 72% of consumers surveyed expressed concern about being exposed to bacteria that are ubiquitous in daily life. At the same time, consumers highly recognize the safety of built-in antibacterial technology and odor control technology, and have full confidence in the development of this field. confidence. When choosing products with antibacterial and odor control technologies, product performance, safety and price are the three main factors they consider whether to make a purchase. When consumers are consuming, environmentally friendly products are preferred, and 85% of respondents will actively choose more durable products to help protect the environment.
In contrast, manufacturers have been adapting to the market in recent years. In the process of developing cleaner products, considerations are also quietly changing when selecting corresponding antibacterial and odor control technologies. Laites shared at this seminar: “At a time when sustainable development has become a theme in various markets around the world, how to make good use of sustainable materials and technologies and reduce waste emissions is a common concern for all companies. When choosing antibacterial When using additives, in addition to the technical performance, technological innovation and technological safety that were valued in the past, whether the technology has compliant, efficient and environmentally friendly features is also a feature that brands and manufacturers value now.”
As a professional brand that has been deeply involved in the field of antibacterial technology for nearly 40 years, Microban continues to pay attention to consumers and manufacturers’ market needs, using innovative antibacterial and odor control technologies to respond to the “pain points” of various products. At this seminar, in addition to introducing the development history of Microban and the market advantages of antibacterial products to the representatives of upstream and downstream companies and industry colleagues, the meeting also formally introduced two recently released Microban products to the guests. Odor control technologies for textiles – DuraTech™ and Refresh™. From daily clothing to home textiles, products that are always fresh and durable are more favored by consumers. Especially close-fitting clothing that comes in contact with the human body is more likely to produce odor under the influence of sweat and body temperature. Microban’s two new odor control technologies can start from two aspects: source prevention and odor neutralization, providing all-weather protection for textile products and achieving lasting freshness and cleanliness of textiles.
In response to the demand for products that want to eliminate odors from the source, Microban’s DuraTech As a breakthrough antibacterial technology specially created for cotton fabrics, it does not contain heavy metal formula and can effectively replace the current heavy metal-based antibacterial additives. It can achieve cleanliness on the surface of cotton products by embedding it into the surface of cotton products; its washability and long-lasting characteristics make the application Products equipped with this technology can still achieve 99.99% odor removal effectiveness even after 75 home washes. Specifically designed for polyester and polyester blends, Refresh is a metal-free odor capture technology that can effectively neutralize accumulated external odors in textiles, keeping textiles including intimate clothing permanently fresh. While taking into account innovation, both technologies have excellent environmental benefits. Bu Fanzhi shared on related topics at the meeting: “Creating environmentally friendly products to achieve a more sustainable production process is Microban’s innovation driving force. The launch of DuraTech, which does not contain heavy metals, and Refresh, which does not contain metal ingredients, will further Empowering manufacturers’ production processes. Using odor control technology to give textile products excellent odor purification effects, extend product service life, and reduce product waste rates. And by suppressing odors and reducing the number of washes, household water consumption and pollution risks are alleviated. From manufacturing A two-pronged approach on both the end and the consumer end to empower the sustainable development of the textile industry.”
