Alaleh Azar Antibacterial Towel

Introduction

With growth in world population and the spread of disease, the number of antibiotic resistant microorganisms is rising along with the occurrence of infections from these microorganisms. By raising the health awareness, some people have focused their attention on educating and protecting themselves against harmful pathogens. In the textile industry, it soon became more important for antimicrobial finished textiles to protect the wearer from bacteria than it was to simply protect the garment from fiber degradation. The need for antimicrobial textiles goes hand-in-hand with the rise in resistant strains of micro-organisms. Towel picks up allergens, germs, and bacteria, locking them deep within the textile’s fibers. By addition of silver, the silver ions attack the bacteria inside the texture and prevent their growth. 

Advantage of Using Nanotechnology

Silver nanoparticle is a strong antibacterial agent which can eliminate a wide range of germs and bacteria. The specific surface area and dispersion capability of silver nanoparticles cause better contact with microorganisms which consequently improves the antimicrobial activities. The antibacterial property of this product was evaluated by ISIRI 11070.
