Anti Fungal Yarns

The new technology of compacting copper or silver into the extruded man man madee fibres has bought about a unique product of Anti Microbial, Anti Fungal and Anti Inflammatory fabrics. Incase of natural yarns, these are blended in a certain proportion or twisted .

Though , the yarns are now available for quite sometime, interestingly the trade has till not exploited these functional values into their product offerings. One still does not see in the markets garments with microbial resistance or under garments with fungal resistance.

The while Children Garment Industry could have actually been steered into this new development. The Under garment business by preference will choose only such yarns and the Hospital wear will be automatically microbial resistance wears. Towels will have no other choices, but to use such yarns. Socks will be anti fungal and handkerchiefs will be antimicrobial.

None of the Brands has traveled into this new space and quickly captured the innovation for their USP.

One still has to also wait and see that how effective these anti fungus, microbial and inflammatory properties are with respect to washing and usage over time.
