Refresh – mode of action

Michael Ruby, President at Microban International, explained the importance of this innovation: "Microban is focused on sustainable solutions, and is proud to have developed Refresh, a more environmentally-friendly technology designed to combat the issue of persistent odors on clothing without using any metal-based chemistries. With Refresh, apparel brands and manufacturers across the world can deliver smart textiles that stay fresher for longer, extending their usable lifetime and reducing the mountains of textile waste that end up in landfill each year. Refresh complements Microban's Scentry^® and Scentry Revive^® technologies perfectly, now providing three world-class bluesign^®-listed technologies for apparel brands to specify at the mill level for odor control applications."

Refresh can be incorporated during the manufacturing processes for polyester and polyester-rich blends products as an easy-to-use and particle-free one-part liquid solution, avoiding any concerns about settlement during storage and mixing. It is fully water soluble and will not negatively impact fabric properties. Dr. Yihong Li, Senior Technical Manager for Textiles at Microban International, elaborated: "Refresh has been meticulously designed to provide effective odor protection that not only contributes to sustainable initiatives, but also seamlessly integrates into polyester textile manufacturing processes. Microban has applied its expertise and extensive technical knowledge to develop this technology to meet industry demands for smarter textile products."

Refresh is available to apparel brands and manufacturers globally, along with Microban's support and expertise. Find out more at https://www.microban.com/odor-control/technologies/refresh^[1] and get in touch with a representative today!
