New Aegis Microbe Shield® technologies will help prevent 99.9% of athlete's foot fungus growth on socks.(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Huntersville, Mecklenburg (PRWEB) July 24, 2014 Socks absorb sweat, holding it against the skin and toenails. By doing this, socks contribute to Athlete's Foot & toenail fungal infections, as well as their recurrence. The new Aegis Microbe Shield® formulations provide a residual self-sanitizing activity against athlete's foot fungus on the treated sock, helping prevent 99.9% of its growth. "Inhibiting the growth of athlete's foot fungus on the treated socks is a compelling feature that the consumer feels is valuable," says Richard Chapman, VP Marketing for Microban International. "We want to help create innovative products that give our sock partners a point of differentiation." Aegis Microbe Shield® technologies help prevent the growth of odor and stain causing bacteria, mold and mildew on the sock or shoe, extending its useful life. Odor on a sock is caused by a variety of factors. Fabrics used for performance wear and footwear come in contact with moisture, humidity, the skin bacterial flora and soils making an ideal breeding ground for odors caused by bacteria, mold and mildew.
