Burgdorf/CH, 6. September 2007: The functionality and esthetics of PVC coated textiles for outdoor use can be considerably impaired by mold-fungi attacks. The SANITIZED AG, a pioneer in the area of antimicrobial hygiene protection for textiles and plastics, presents in line with the K2007, its latest developments in this field: The new additive Sanitized® PL 25-33 contains two active ingredients which synergistically support each other and therefore is able to protect tarpaulins in a so far unattainable spectrum against mold-fungi – durably and dependably. Thereby, completely abstaining from the use of arsenic.
The experts for antimicrobial hygiene protection at SANITIZED designed the new product for the use in PVC plastisols. All PVC outdoor tarpaulins, which must withstand years of climatic exposure for the use as a canopy, façade, sun-protection or boat-cover profit from its multiple advantages.
Protects PVC and Textile-Carriers: The one-of-a-kind recipe is able to protect not only the PVC but also the textile carrier, even though the antimicrobial additive is solely worked into the PVC. The created dual-advantage does not generate additional costs for the otherwise required supplementary textile treatment.
Foresighted – Arsenic-Free: SANITIZED AG uses only scientifically proven and registered antimicrobial active ingredients, which have been subjected to the strictest risk assessments for man and environment in internationally recognized testing processes. Sanitized® PL 25-33 is arsenic-free and based on an innovative combination of two proven and tested active ingredients. It is understood, that both comply with the European Biocide Regulations.
Outstanding Weather Resistance: First customers, who have already applied the new product, confirm the outstanding weather resistance and the durable and dependable effect against mold-fungi. Comprehensive evaluations confirm that Sanitized® PL 25-33 is compatible with all established PVC-stabilizing-systems. Undesirable discolorations occurred neither during thermic processing nor during the weathering process of the PVC tarpaulins.
The new product is available through the long-time partner Clariant. Official Sanitized® license partners can label their finished goods with the Sanitized® quality seal, which provides the end-user a clear identification and decision-making assistance. The extension of product-service-life offers real differentiating potential from the competition and is a transmittable selling point up to the end-consumer.
