The human body is an ideal growth environment for microorganisms, and the human body contains countless organisms under normal conditions. Textiles will contact the human body during use, sweat, sebum, and other human secretions, which provide essential nutrients for the existence, growth, and reproduction of microorganisms.
At the same time, the porous structure of the textile also facilitates the adhesion of microorganisms. Microorganisms such as pathogenic bacteria are attached to the skin, respiratory tract, and blood to cause harm to human health and even cause dermatitis and various other infectious diseases.
Natural anti-microbial ingredients in textiles or artificially added anti-microbial ingredients to fabrics make them have anti-microbial functions.
