Among the current mainstream functional yarns, there are nano-series functional yarns for antibacterial and antibacterial/deodorization. These are the five mainstream antibacterial fiber yarns:

Silver ion functional yarn

Principle: Silver ions are infiltrated and solidified into the yarn through nano-technology and processes. In a warm and humid environment, silver ions have very high biological activity and are very easy to combine with other substances, causing the proteins inside and outside the bacterial cell membrane to coagulate, thereby blocking the respiration and reproduction process of bacterial cells.

Features: It has the advantages of broad-spectrum antibacterial, high antibacterial rate, lasting antibacterial effect, and a wide range of applications. Silver ion fiber, cotton and polyester blended yarn will not decrease with time and washing. Even after washing hundreds of times, its antibacterial function has not decreased. At the same time, the silver ions on the surface of the silver fiber can quickly adsorb ammonia and deteriorated proteins, thereby reducing or eliminating odors.

Copper ion functional yarn

Principle: Nano copper ions can attack bacterial cell membranes, nucleic acids, and enzymes, destroy cell proteins, and cause bacterial death or loss of division and proliferation ability.
Features: It is particularly effective against fungi. Its excellent antibacterial function has a certain inhibitory effect on fungal problems such as skin and foot fungi, dermatitis, eczema, etc., and it is effective against the three major bacterial groups of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. At the same time, the high hydrophilic group of copper fiber can neutralize with ammonia, isovaleric acid and acetic acid to eliminate odor.

Juncao Yarn

Principle: It extracts the essence of natural Juncao, has natural antibacterial properties, and does not add antibacterial agents in physical or chemical forms.
Features: It not only has the same excellent quality as cotton and wood pulp fibers, but also has excellent antibacterial properties. The finished product has the advantages of anti-wrinkle, anti-pilling, bright color, silky quality, moisture absorption and breathability, light and soft, and natural green. According to the inspection reports of the National Textile Products Quality Supervision and Inspection Center and the Guangdong Microbiological Analysis and Testing Center, the antibacterial rate of Juncao fiber against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans is greater than 99%, and the anti-H3N2 and H1N1 avian influenza virus activity rate is greater than 99.99%, with excellent antibacterial and antiviral effects.

Pineapple fiber yarn

Principle: Pineapple leaf fiber itself has extremely strong natural bactericidal and antibacterial functions, which can effectively kill bacteria and inhibit the growth of fungi and microorganisms.
Features: After processing, the appearance is white, soft and smooth, and can be blended with natural fibers or synthetic fibers. The woven fabric is easy to print and dye, sweat-absorbent and breathable, crisp and wrinkle-free, and very comfortable to wear, especially suitable for people living in tropical areas.

Ramie fiber blended yarn

Principle: Ramie fiber contains trace elements such as pyrimidine, pyrimidine, purine, etc., which have an inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, etc., and has natural antibacterial, anti-mite and anti-odor functions.
Features: It has antibacterial, breathable, cool, anti-corrosion, anti-mildew, sweat absorption and other functions. Tests have proved that after 50 repeated washings, its sterilization effect is still more than 98%, which can effectively prevent the secondary pollution of bacteria and mites on textiles.
