Functional features already used in real products
Work footwear, contact surfaces and textiles: four applications shared by Deltachem, with manufacturers’ identities kept confidential.
We present the need and the solution incorporated. No quantified results or customer testimonials are provided.
Work footwear for hospitals and the food industry
The need
A work footwear manufacturer incorporates an antibacterial function into the outer surface of products intended for hospitals and the food industry.
The solution incorporated
Biomaster is incorporated into the material to limit bacterial growth on the treated surface.
The intended benefit
Adding antibacterial protection to the material itself in an application with hygiene requirements.
The material treatment complements cleaning protocols. This case does not in itself substantiate reduced infection or bacterial transfer between areas.
Sector information; this is not a footwear manufacturer’s product sheet.
Supermarket trolley handles
The need
A supermarket trolley manufacturer applies an antibacterial treatment to the handles, a surface touched by different users.
The solution incorporated
A treatment is applied to limit bacterial proliferation on the treated surface.
The intended benefit
Integrating an antibacterial function into a frequently touched component.
The treatment complements trolley cleaning. Performance is assessed on the finished handle under its intended use and maintenance conditions.
Sportswear and outdoor activities
The need
Sportswear and outdoor clothing manufacturers seek to address odour that develops during wear.
The solution incorporated
StayFresh is applied to inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria in the treated fabric.
The intended benefit
Adding freshness as a garment benefit to address odour during use.
Evaluation must use the finished fabric and its intended care routine. The treatment does not remove dirt or replace washing instructions.
Casual clothing and home textiles
The need
A casual clothing and home textiles manufacturer incorporates environmental odour control into its products.
The solution incorporated
OdorCrunch is applied to address odours from the surroundings and maintain freshness between washes.
The intended benefit
Offering odour control in everyday clothing and textiles.
Washing frequency depends on dirt, use and the article’s instructions. Odour control does not replace textile cleaning.
Spot purchasing opportunities for polymer processors
Deltachem seeks raw material purchasing opportunities for processors looking to improve acquisition costs and their competitive position or margin.
The comparison should consider grade, specifications, volume, lead time and supply terms. A price opportunity only makes sense if the material fits the application.
