Iran-Made Anti-Allergy Towel Includes Nanoparticles
‘Yas Sepid Mashhad Caspian Jorab’ firm has made the antibacterial towel which can effectively prevent the growth of bacteria with no dermal allergies and environmental challenges.
Utilization of nanoparticles in the structure of towel-forming fibers has created antibacterial properties, prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi and makes the towel anti-allergic.
In a relevant development earlier this year, Iranian researchers at a technological company had also used nanoparticles to produce anti-bacterial nonwoven textiles through a green method.
"Spanbond is a nonwoven textile produced by our company by using the method of thermal bonding. Nonwoven textiles are used in different industries including in hygiene, medicine, packaging, auto-making, leather, and agriculture fields,” said Zahra Sobhsouz, the director for research and development of the technological company.
Noting that the company manufactures 10 tons of the product on a daily basis, she said, “This product is used in the food industry for the production of moisture absorbent pads and in the medical field as patient underlay pads, bed sheets, pillow sets, sterile pads and disposable sheets.”
Sobhsouz underlined that nanotechnology has been used in production of Spanbond, adding, “We made these textiles antibacterial by using zinc oxide nanoparticles produced from citrus peels.”
