Antimicrobial solutions premier, Microban International is set to launch the company’s first odour capture product platform for apparel and footwear, ‘Scentry’, at Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2015. As being promised by the company, Scentry will last for over 50 home launderings, will reduce odour by 99 per cent and will not impact the hand and moisture management properties of a fabric. The odour is trapped in a protective barrier formed on the fabric by Scentry which then releases the trapped odour while laundering, allowing them to be washed off the fabric. It is also said to improve the wicking properties of polyester garments, providing an additional benefit to active wear brands and consumers. It is primarily designed for polyester based active wear and footwear which are prone to develop an objectionable odour over the course of time.
