Sanitized AG, specialist in antimicrobial hygiene function and material protection, has developed a new product, Sanitized TH 12-13, which can be used on textiles and for polymer coatings, to offer long-lasting, UV-resistant protection against mildew.

A large number of treatments are available to protect textiles in outdoor use against environmental influences such as sun, wind, and rain. However, user experiences and market observations show that the protective functions do not last in the long term. Sunlight intensity massively impairs the functions applied, with possible consequences such as premature material fatigue and unsightly stains caused by mildew infestation.

Sanitized TH 12-13 counteracts destructive infestation by micro-organisms. It is highly temperature-resistant, can be used in conventional application methods and is suitable for aqueous coating systems. Sanitized TH 12-13 can be used in standard polymer matrices, Sanitized AG said in a statement.

Products whose primary function is sun-protection, such as tarpaulins, tents, awnings, parasols and umbrellas, architectural textiles, as well as coated textiles, will benefit from a UV-resistant, anti-mildew treatment using Sanitized TH 12-13, a product that is still convincing even under high air humidity and persistent rain. Naturally, the new product is subject to the Sanitized AG standard of using only registered and safety-tested antimicrobial active ingredients.

The product will be launched during the European Coating Show and Techtextil. This product innovation has already won the ITMA future materials award. (GK)
