Separating Fact from Fear
Antibacterial polyester yarn manufacturers often face skepticism. Let’s clarify common misconceptions with science-backed truths.
Myth 1: “Antibacterial = Harmful Chemicals”
Reality: Modern agents like silver ions are non-toxic and FDA-approved. They’re embedded in fibers, minimizing skin contact.
Myth 2: “It Promotes Superbugs”
Reality: Studies show textile antimicrobials target bacterial membranes physically, not via antibiotics, avoiding resistance risks.
Myth 3: “Efficacy Fades Quickly”
Reality: Quality yarn retains 90%+ antibacterial properties after 50 washes, per ISO 20743 testing standards.
Sustainability Myths
· Myth: Antibacterial production harms the environment.
· Truth: Many manufacturers use closed-loop water systems and biodegradable additives.
