Antibacterial Polypropylene Fiber

    Overview

    Introduction

    This product is zinc oxide/polypropylene nanocomposite fibers, which due to the presence of zinc oxide nanoparticles show antibacterial properties. The use of zinc oxide nanoparticles in destroying the bacteria has considerable applications. Due to the presence of zinc oxide nanoparticles inside the polymeric network of the yarn, the rate of releasing nanoparticle is very low; so the long-term antibacterial effect of this product is considerable. 

    Application

    • Production of antibacterial textiles

    Advantage of Using Nanotechnology

    Zinc oxide has antibacterial properties, and reduction of the particle size up to the nanometer range because of creating high surface area further improves the antibacterial effect. The antibacterial property of this product was evaluated by ISIRI 11070.
