BioSmart is the latest enhancement to the ProSura Food Safety Solutions program, aimed at mitigating cross-contamination in the food industry.
The need for antimicrobial garments and towels in the food industry led to the partnership between G&K Services and textile manufacturer Milliken & Company.
Developed by Milliken, BioSmart is a patent-pending textile technology that binds chlorine* molecules to the surface of fabric. Chlorine on the fabric will continue to kill germs long after the fabric has been washed. The BioSmart fabric is then used to create garments and towels for the food industry, available only through G&K Services ProSura Food Safety Solutions program.
Independent, outside testing has demonstrated that when BioSmart fabrics are laundered according to care instructions with EPA-registered chlorine bleach, the chlorine killed 99.9** percent of common bacteria and viruses, including Salmonella choleraesuis, E-Coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Hepatitis A.
BioSmart fabrics are also non-irritating to human skin and have passed the ISO skin irritation and skin sensitivity tests.
* When used in accordance with its EPA-registered label instructions.
** Laboratory conditions using AATCC 100 test method.
