AATCC 100 Antimicrobial Fabric Test

The AATCC 100 standard has been developed by the American Textile Chemists and Colorists Association (AATCC) to explain the properties and test methods of antimicrobial fabrics. The full name of this standard is as follows: AATCC 100 Test method - Antimicrobial textile tests.

AATCC 100 Antimicrobial Fabric Test

Antimicrobial agents are useful textile additives that provide resistance to microorganisms and potentially prevent infections caused by related organisms such as staphylococcus aureus. With the test method in this standard, the antibacterial properties and bacteriostatic (growth inhibition) or bactericidal (bacteria killing) properties of textile products are evaluated during the 24-hour contact period. Continuity and repeatability of the results are taken into account during the tests.

The test method described in the AATCC 100 standard consists of six basic steps: sample preparation, sterilization, inoculation, incubation, washing / rinsing and counting. Organisms are incubated under favorable conditions to reveal the antimicrobial properties of the test fabric. This test method is the main antimicrobial fabric performance standard applied in the textile industry in the USA.

It is tested against a number of organisms in advanced laboratories to allow not only staphylococcus aureus, but also more difficult and better marketing of textile products.

In short, antimicrobial agents are useful textile additives and are widely used in many textile products today. It provides very strong resistance to the textile products against the odors caused by microorganisms without moving away from the appearance or feel of the fabric.

With this special technology, the demand for fabrics is increasing. Demand is growing not only in the sports world and the commercial world, but also in the medical world. Some strong antimicrobial textiles prevent infections and infections that pose a public health risk if they accumulate on the fabric.

The antimicrobial agent is woven as a yarn in some applications, and in some applications, it is applied to the textile surface as a liquid. In any case, it is important to carry out the necessary tests to determine the performance.
