("IFTNA"), has received a United States Environmental Agency ("EPA") registration for its innovative new multifunctional technology, bioACTIV AM, which combines anti-microbial, anti-viral, deodorant and UV Protection into a single formulation.
"bioACTIV AM, represents the culmination of a lengthy period of development and testing to create a novel 4-in-1 formulation that marries anti-bacterial and anti-viral efficacy with deodorization and UV protection in a single textile finishing application," said Giancarlo Beevis President and CEO of IFTNA.

The team at IFTNA is constantly looking for ways to add to or improve upon our current line of products and bioACTIV AM is a fantastic new addition," continued Mr. Beevis.
"In addition to expanding and strengthening our line-up of innovative textile technologies, bioACTIV AM represents a meaningful advancement in our proprietary chemical delivery system, which will allow us to continue to create high performance single application chemistries that can be combined and then durably embedded as a single finish, creating multiple distinct or synergistic performance characteristics for any textile-based product. This new multifunctional capability combined into a single application can be brand specific, allowing us to customize products by customer to deliver exclusive performance combinations across various industries. I believe the innovative and customizable nature of this technology will appeal to many of our current and potential customers," concluded Giancarlo Beevis.
