Cupron's manufacturing technology permanently binds its proprietary copper compound to textile fibers, non-woven fabrics, paper, latex and other polymeric products. Cupron yarn is introduced early in the textile manufacturing process and Cupron powder is introduced at the slurry stage for paper or polymer products. As a result, the manufacturing process for Cupron-based products does not require extra time, engineering or special equipment, and the protection afforded by such products will last as long as the products themselves, regardless of multiple washing or abrasion. Only a small percentage of Cupron fiber needs to be included in applications to be effective, resulting in a very cost-effective end-use product.
