Antimicrobial & Antibacterial Additives for Fabrics & Textiles
Biomaster additives are used to give permanent Antimicrobial & antibacterial properties to fabrics & textiles and fibers. Many people associate the dangers of cross infection and bacteria with the hands, but fabrics & textiles are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria.
