Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® (Suitable for class I-IV)
ZDHC MRSL compliant
Actual application for ZDHC Chemical Gateway: Level 3

• Durable UV protective finish of textiles for protecting the skin from harmful UV rays
• Especially suitable for cellulosic fibres
• Mineral titanium dioxide absorbs and reflects incident UV rays and, thus, significantly reduces the portion of transmitted rays
• Depending on the fabric construction, the requirements of common standards (e.g. AS/NZS 4399, EN 13758, AATCC 183) can be fulfilled
• The best results are obtained on unfinished cotton
• Does not impair the textile handle

Chemical basis: Inorganic pigments in a polysiloxane matrix
Ionic character: Cationic
