Press release (11 June 2024)

Fuze Technologies announced on 11 June 2024 that the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) registration and approval for its antimicrobial products used for textiles and surfaces, as well as lifetime durability of its application.

“This is huge news for Fuze and for the textiles industry,” said Andrew Peterson, Fuze CTO. “The EPA has reviewed our product and verified that it is an antimicrobial that is retained by the fabric for more than 100 washes. That is a first in the industry,” he continued.

The EPA’s approval uniquely positions Fuze in the market, making Fuze the only antimicrobial that can last the life of the textile to which it is applied. Fuze uses its patented process to create products that are applied to fabrics using various application methods.

In addition to its antimicrobial features, Fuze’s technology leads with its chemical-free, anti-odor capabilities which also promote moisture wicking and significantly faster drying times, while not disrupting the fabrics look or feel.

“Remarkably, we achieve these benefits using just 1 mg per kilogram of textile—a dosage nearly 1 million times less than any other antimicrobial treatments currently available,” Peterson mentioned. He continued, “This ultra-low application rate not only ensures minimal environmental impact but also maintains fabric integrity and performance over time.”
