Our Technology
Beyond Ordinary: Antimicrobial Textiles
Antimicrobial textiles have been a game-changer in various industries, from healthcare to consumer goods. They offer a layer of protection against harmful bacteria and other microorganisms. However, not all antimicrobial textiles are created equal. Vivothreads has developed the future of antimicrobial textile technology.
Pioneering Functional Natural Fibers
Vivothreads is the only company with the expertise to infuse copper directly into natural fibers. Unlike other companies that use synthetic materials or merely coat their textiles with antimicrobial substances, our unique process ensures that the copper is an integral part of the fiber itself. This is not just an advancement. It’s a revolution in textile technology.
Where Comfort meets Performance and Safety
While natural fibers have long been cherished for their innate comfort and breathability, these attributes merely scratch the surface of their primary advantage. The true magic behind our technology’s effectiveness lies in the remarkable ionization capabilities of copper. Copper stands as a well-established antimicrobial element, functioning by disrupting bacterial cell membranes, ultimately leading to their swift demise. In contrast, synthetic fibers often imprison these valuable ions within their plastic molecular structure, severely curtailing their mobility and efficacy. Conversely, within our natural fibers, copper ions revel in freedom of movement. This liberty is not merely advantageous; it stands as a pivotal factor that significantly amplifies the ionization process. These ions effortlessly and rapidly come into contact with bacteria, allowing our textiles to exterminate harmful microorganisms far more expeditiously than competing products on the market.
Proven Success
Our textiles don’t just meet industry standards, they redefine them. While the AATCC100 standard for antibacterial effectiveness requires killing off 99% of bacteria in 22 to 24 hours, our textiles achieve this in minutes. We’re not just setting a new standard, we’re creating a new paradigm in antimicrobial effectiveness.
Expanding Horizons
While our groundbreaking copper-infused textiles have been our primary focus, we’re not stopping there. Vivothreads is now exploring new opportunities by infusing natural fibers with a variety of other beneficial characteristics. From enhancing durability to adding new functionalities, we’re committed to pushing the boundaries of what textiles can do. At Vivothreads, we’re not just making textiles, we’re making history.
