Radici introduces antimicrobial yarn for contract market carpets
RadiciGroup, the Italy-based worldwide producer of chemicals, plastics, fibers, and textiles, has introduced a new antimicrobial nylon carpet yarn, polyamide 6, containing Milliken & Co.'s AlphaSan antimicrobial agent.
"We observed an increase in demand for carpets and rugs in the Scandinavian countries and Northern Europe where patented antimicrobial fibers are now offered," said Federico Previtali, a sales director for Radici. "By offering this option to these markets, we can reach contractors in sectors such as hospitals, kindergartens and offices where the need for the product is the greatest."
