Anti-bacterial Anti-UV Nano-Zinc Spun Yarn

How it Works?

Nano Zinc Yarn technology incorporates nano-sized zinc particles into textile fibers, providing antibacterial properties. The antibacterial mechanism relies on the interaction between zinc ions and bacterial cells. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light in the 180-400 nm range, particularly UVA (320-400 nm) and UVB (290-320 nm), the nano zinc particles generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS damage bacterial cell walls, proteins, and DNA, leading to bacterial death. The short-wave UV (UVC) is largely absorbed by the atmosphere, so the primary focus is on medium-wave and long-wave UV protection. This technology is applied in various forms such as staple fiber, spun yarn, and polyester filament, making it versatile for different textile applications.
