Separating Fact from Fear 

Antibacterial polyester yarn manufacturers often face skepticism. Let’s clarify common misconceptions with science-backed truths.

Myth 1: “Antibacterial = Harmful Chemicals” 

Reality: Modern agents like silver ions are non-toxic and FDA-approved. They’re embedded in fibers, minimizing skin contact.

Myth 2: “It Promotes Superbugs” 

Reality: Studies show textile antimicrobials target bacterial membranes physically, not via antibiotics, avoiding resistance risks.

Myth 3: “Efficacy Fades Quickly” 

Reality: Quality yarn retains 90%+ antibacterial properties after 50 washes, per ISO 20743 testing standards.

Sustainability Myths

· Myth: Antibacterial production harms the environment.
