Test of Antibacterial Efficacy in Textile Products According to "ISO 20743 Standard"

Recently, the use of antibacterial products in every sector is increasing. One of these sectors is the textile sector.

Textile products have suitable conditions for the reproduction of microorganisms due to their structure. For this reason, antibacterial textile products help to eliminate microbial negativities that may arise.

Antibacterial activity is carried out in accordance with the "ISO 20743 standard" on textile structures such as fabrics, threads, etc. that have been treated with antibacterial.

Regardless of whether the product is natural or artificial, all products can be analyzed according to this standard. "Staphylococcus aureus" and "Klebsiella pneumoniae" microorganisms are used in this method, in which antibacterial activity is determined by three different methods.
