Zinc-Based Antimicrobial Agent for Textiles
CAS Number: 557-05-1
Zinc-based antimicrobial agent for textiles uses zinc pyrithione or zinc oxide nanoparticles to impart durable antimicrobial and antifungal properties to fabric substrates at a cost-effective price point. Zinc ions interfere with microbial enzyme systems and membrane integrity, providing persistent protection against bacteria, fungi, and mildew. Particularly effective for outdoor textiles, swimwear, and household fabrics exposed to humid conditions.
