SANITIZED TecCenter receives IAC certification

To ensure responsible use of biocides and international comparability, test methods and test results for products that have undergone antimicrobial treatment should be transparent, useful and comparable.

For this reason, SANITIZED AG, a specialist in antimicrobial material protection and hygiene functions in textiles and polymers, operates a Microbiology Laboratory at its SANITIZED TecCenter, which is approved by the International Antimicrobial Council IAC. This non-profit US-based institute, the IAC, aims to enhance safety for antimicrobial-treated products and consumers. The assistance provided by SANITIZED TecCenter to textile and polymer product manufacturers in developing and optimizing their products is welcomed by these manufacturers. TecCenter oversees technical application aspects and conducts microbiological tests and analyses, all from a single source. SANITIZED provides specialized support to textile producers' research and development efforts, particularly in the effort to develop the best possible odour management for textiles. TecCenter is now approved by the IAC and designated as an "International Antimicrobial Council Certified Laboratory." Thanks to IAC Certification, SANITIZED AG offers innovation expertise according to international standards recognized and valued in the USA and Asia. Erich Rohrbach, Head of Microbiology at SANITIZED AG, states: "In addition to helping with product development and product optimization through our TecCenter, SANITIZED customers also receive antimicrobial application certification from IAC, an independent body, for their products." Rohrbach adds: "This is an important building block for supply chain transparency in the textile industry, and this is increasingly demanded by a growing number of manufacturers and brands depending on end-customer requirements." Many SANITIZED customers particularly value TecCenter for development work in odour management in textiles. SANITIZED offers an innovative product portfolio to meet this demand, including non-biocide additives.
