ANTI-BACTERIAL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

All antibacterial test results were conducted using the AATCC Method 100 standard testing protocol for textiles. All testing showed consistent performance for both gram negative and gram positive model organisms at greater than 5 log (99.999%) efficacy having been demonstrated consistently. The treatments robust and long lasting performance is demonstrated with greater than 5 log reductions after extended shelf life and wash cycle testing for up to 100 wash cycles. Several textile types are also shown with a focus on synthetic fabrics which are more prone to microbial growth such as polyesters. Testing was also conducted on textiles treated via standard industry treatment practices in international fabric mills.

GENERIC APPAREL TEXTILE TEST RESULTS

• Results shown indicate greater than 3 log (99.9%) reduction in growth

• No CFU found in testing of treated textiles indicating a complete kill

• Both gram-positive and gram-negative model organisms tested

• Textiles treated with 2.5% of binder coating

ANTI-FUNGAL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Trichophyton testing used AATCC Method 30 Test 3 as testing protocol to identify efficacy while Candida results came from AATCC Method 100. Fungal efficacy was demonstrated with 4x higher binder applications than bacterial results which are more economical for textiles which are likely to develop fungal growth. These applications may include athletic footwear, textiles which are in contact with the groin, and other textiles which have consistently high moisture levels they are exposed to.
