Acteev®
Acteev®
Acteev® nylon 6,6 fabrics and yarns set manufacturers and their customers free from the limitations of the past. Acteev® guards against the growth of mildew, fungi and other microbes to keep textiles fresher for longer.* With its odor-free, dyeable and non-silver technology, Acteev®is the ideal answer for an active world that wants products that wear better, smell better, retain color better and are better for the environment.
FREE FROM ODOR
Say goodbye to stink for life. With patent-pending Acteev®, even the hardest-working apparel stays fresh. And Acteev® embedded antimicrobial technology protects against the growth of odor-causing bacteria, so you benefit from extended freshness for textiles that look and smell great.*
FREE TO DESIGN WITH ANY COLOR YOU WANT
Pastels, solid colors, dark colors — design with any shade you want. There’s no need to mix in white. Yarn made with no-odor Acteev® works just like regular yarn — only better.
FREE FROM SILVER
Acteev is environmentally friendly – zero silver goes into the water system.
FREE FROM POST-FINISHING
With Acteev®, there’s no post-finishing step; seamless garments are ready after knitting. Manufacturers save time and money on every piece.
FREE TO LAST
Tests show garments made with Acteev® stay protected through 50 washes. Plus, textiles made with nylon 6,6 are more durable, and don’t yellow. So products look great longer.
FREE TO BE GREEN
Other products use silver as an antimicrobial, but that metal comes with unwanted environmental consequences. Silver is typically used as a finish or a coating applied using a water-intensive process, and the excess silver has to be disposed of, eventually ending up in our waterways. It uses an active ingredient that is GRAS.
APPLICATIONS
Free to work beautifully with any application. Acteev® can be used in virtually any garment or textile you need.
*Acteev® does not protect users or others against disease-causing bacteria. These claims fall under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s treated article exemption. Regulations in other countries may differ.
