With over eight decades of expertise, SANITIZED AG has long been committed to developing innovative and effective technologies to target the consumer demand for long-lasting freshness in textiles. Whether it’s for apparel, home textiles, or a multitude of other end use applications, Sanitized® odor management technologies support more than 500 brand partners globally.

A Comprehensive Technology Portfolio

The Sanitized® odor management portfolio consists of several solutions that provide optimal and reliable performance for natural, synthetic, and blended textile substrates. Each technology relies on a unique mode of action that provides excellent performance and improves the durability, sustainability, and freshness of textile products.

The technology portfolio is all-encompassing; brands and retailers can determine the specific odor management feature that aligns with their target performance specifications. The Sanitized® metal-free and non-leaching antimicrobial technology prevents the growth of odor-causing bacteria by using a polymer system that remains affixed to the fabric’s surface. Another feature, the Sanitized® biocide-free odor management technology, absorbs and neutralizes odors to deliver long-lasting freshness on textiles. Products treated with Sanitized® technologies qualify for a brand partnership agreement and therefore the Sanitized® seal of confidence, if testing supports durability through 20 washes or more.

An Effective Solution for Consumer Sustainability

Influenced by the pandemic crisis, marketplace trends point to the consumer demand for products that provide sustainable benefits to consumers at home. The pandemic has evoked consumers’ interest in their carbon footprints and has made them more conscious of their purchasing behaviors and their day-to-day lifestyles–and whether they are positively impacting the environment through their actions.

The Sanitized® technology portfolio enhances the sustainability of textiles by extending product use between wash cycles. By laundering less frequently, consumers can reduce their household carbon emissions, as well as water and energy usage. This small, simple action can make a substantial difference in the overall environmental impact of the residential laundering sector. It can also extend the product’s lifecycle because the product will not be subjected to the physical process of laundering as frequently, which can lead to fabric deterioration over time. By preventing the development of unpleasant odors in clothing, consumers are provided with flexibility and convenience to maintain their busy lifestyles while staying fresh and confident throughout the day.
