Silicon Valley Start Up Creates World’s Most Technologically Advanced Line of Active Wear
Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) December 22, 2015 -- Kleen Fabrics, a new Silicon Valley-based athletic apparel company, announces a partnership with PurThread Technologies Inc., maker of next generation antimicrobial fibers and yarns, to provide permanent protection against odor and bacteria in Kleen Fabrics’ patented Kleen Silver line of activewear.
“Kleen Fabrics aims to provide the highest performing gear to athletes, fitness enthusiasts, medical professionals, and savvy millennials. People today are looking for their clothing to do more for them and to take them from the gym, to work, and everywhere in between,” said Sassan Golafshan, founder and CEO of Kleen Fabrics. “In developing Kleen Silver for those individuals, we conducted extensive research and testing and found PurThread to be the most powerful and durable antimicrobial, anti-odor technology available worldwide.”
The foundation of this partnership is PurThread’s silver-embedded yarn which, in a recent study by the University of Arizona, was shown to kill 99.99 percent of salmonella and other bacteria on its surface within two hours of contact. The silver, a safe, non-nano, ionic silver salt, is EPA registered, and will power Kleen Silver products with unprecedented technology that kills odor-causing bacteria on contact.
PurThread is the first to embed silver into the fiber itself before it is spun into yarn and woven into fabrics. This novel technology yields Kleen Silver intrinsic antimicrobial benefits that don’t wash off or wear away for the life of the fabric and don’t change the fabric’s physical characteristics, making Kleen Silver the most effective product of its kind on the market.
“We are excited to join with Kleen Fabrics to provide their customers a truly effective and lasting anti-odor solution that is as low maintenance as it is high performance,” said Lisa Grimes, CEO of PurThread. “The advanced PurThread technology allows customers to wear Kleen Silver apparel longer while washing it less.”
