Nilit, a global leader in sustainable, premium Nylon 6.6 for apparel, reports it has received confirmation from Microbe Investigations AG (MIS), a microbiological testing services lab, that fabric made with Sensil BodyFresh demonstrated a 99.85 % reduction in viral activity when tested according to ISO 18184:2019 criteria against Betacoronavirus 1 (OC43), an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. The additive embedded in the Sensil BodyFresh yarn is said to provide long-lasting protection that does not deteriorate with laundering, indicating that the additive is not washed out of the fabric. Sensil BodyFresh is currently used by leading apparel brands across all segments such as intimates and underwear, base layer, activewear, and legwear. By inhibiting microbial growth, fabrics stay fresher longer and require fewer launderings. The benefits are built into the yarn and do not wash out or wear off for the life of the fabric, providing sustainable protection that doesn't pollute waterways, the company adds. In addition to providing these proven antimicrobial benefits, Sensil BodyFresh is responsibly made at its water and energy optimized facilities and meets Nilit's Total Product Sustainability guidelines for long-lasting, high quality products made with respect for the planet and people.
