Starlight® Bacteriostatic

Nanotechnology dyed yarns in bacteriostatic polyester

Starlight® Bacteriostatic characteristics:
  • Continuous polyester filament with antimicrobial properties.
  • Antimicrobial functionality provided by silver ions incorporated in the fibre.
  • New generation compound used.
  • Treatment applied during the extrusion phase; no post-treatment needed.
  • Total production versatility - product range available in all solution-dyed PES versions in combination with polyester flame retardant FR and FR-UV stabilized.
  • Dyed yarns with no negative effects on the textile properties.
  • Long-lasting and wash-resistant bacteriostatic activity guaranteed and certified.
  • Oekotex Std 100 Class 1 available upon request.

The humidity on the filament surface causes the release of silver ions from the micro-compound incorporated and distributed all along the filament.

Natural antimicrobial silver is effective against all gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is also effective in preventing the formation of some fungi. Silver ions exert their antimicrobial action by the following mechanisms:
1.Disruption of the cellular surface of bacteria.
2.Blockage of respiration through the cellular membrane.
3.Formation of a bond with bacteria molecules.

Starlight® Bacteriostatic is a Swiss product offering certified effectiveness and guaranteed performance. Laboratory tests are performed in accordance with the ISO 20743:2007 and/or JIS 1902:2002 standards and show that product performance parameters remain unchanged even after 300 washes at 40°C. 

Starlight® Bacteriostatic functionality can also be combined with Starlight® FR flame retardant characteristics and/or Starlight® UV Guard UV stabilization.
