What anti-odor (microbe and bacteria resistance) tests does GreenShield pass?
GreenShield effectively passes anti-odor tests and can be formulated with EPA registered antimicrobials to pass most industry standard microbial tests including AATCC-100, AATCC-147, the New York State test and ASTM E2149-01. 16. Are the GreenShield treated fabrics breathable? Yes. Nanoparticle-based GreenShield finish does not change a fabric’s breathability. 17. How does GreenShield compare to Gore Seating Protection? The GreenShield finish is an inorganic nanoparticle-based chemical finish. In contrast, Gore Seating Protection is a PTFE based laminating process. 18. How does GreenShield compare to the Nanotex finish? The Nanotex finish is a fluoropolymer based finish that provides water and stain resistance to a fabric, while the GreenShield finish is an inorganic nanoparticle-based multifunctional finish that provides a fabric not only water and stain repellency but also can provide anti-odor (microbe and bacteria resistant), antistatic and flame retardant properties.
