Sanitized opens new technical textiles and testing facility

Swiss SANITIZED AG , a antimicrobial technology specialist and a leading worldwide producer of the antimicrobial hygiene function and material protection for textiles and polymers has opened a new technical textiles research, development and testing centre, with the company highlighting odour management in textiles a key priority for the facility.

The ‘TecCenter‘ from Sanitized has been opened at the company’s head office in Burgdorf, Switzerland, and is looking to support customers with product development and optimisation which are “tailored to each individual production process. ”

The centre features testing facilities for textile coatings, polymers, and functional textile finishings apart from focusing on mould formation, odour development, material deterioration, and bacteria growth in textiles.

Urs Stalder, CEO of Sanitized said that the equipment in their new TecCenter, allows them to conduct application tests at laboratory level to advance product developments and optimization which, so far, had to be carried out in customers’ manufacturing processes at great expense in terms of machinery, time and energy.

The TecCenter will conduct tests to find new technical application areas for Sanitized current antimicrobial products.

In close cooperation with their customers, they can now effectively advance their R&D projects.

Sanitized is a brand name and, at the same time, a seal of confidence, with which textile and polymer end products are labeled.
