The anti-microbial properties and chemical finishes have been tested by third party independent laboratories to establish and verify the efficacy and performance of finished garments.
Antimicrobial performance against gram(+) and gram(-) bacteria, fungi, algae and yeast are documented by the tested manufacturers as follows:
| Staphylococus aureus, gram (+) bacteria | 100% reduction |
| Escherichia coli, gram (-) bacteria | 99.6% reduction |
| Klebsiella pneumonia, gram (+) bacteria | 100% reduction |
| Saccharamyces cerevisiae, yeast | 99.9% reduction |
| Citrobacter diversus (wound isolate) | 93.6% reduction |
| Pseudomonas seruginosa (urine isolate) | 99.9% reduction |
| Proteus mirabilis (wound isolate) | 99.5% reduction |
