Developed by Milliken, BioSmart® is a patented textile technology that binds chlorine* molecules to the surface of fabric. Chlorine on the fabric will continue to kill germs long after the fabric has been washed. The BioSmart® fabric is then used to create garments and towels for the food industry, available through G&K Services ProSura® Food Safety Solutions program.
Independent, outside testing has demonstrated that when BioSmart® fabrics are laundered according to care instructions with EPA-registered chlorine bleach, the chlorine killed 99.9** percent of common bacteria and viruses, including Salmonella choleraesuis, E-Coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Hepatitis A.
BioSmart® fabrics are also non-irritating to human skin and have passed the ISO skin irritation and skin sensitivity tests.
