FRESHNESS THAT PEOPLE RECOGNIZE
More freshness.
More confidence.
Bring effective odor control to activewear, outdoor apparel, and everyday textiles with a finish that works directly to control unwanted odor.
01
Odor adsorption
Functional sites retain odor compounds and limit their release into the surrounding air.
02
Non-biocidal
Controls odor through adsorption, without relying on a bacteria-killing mechanism.
03
Refresh through washing
Laundering releases captured odor compounds so the functional sites can work again.
04
Durable freshness
Designed for performance through up to 40 home washes, subject to the fabric and finishing conditions.
Verify odor adsorption with AATCC TM216 and ISO 17299-3. Select relevant odorants, compare treated and untreated fabrics, and repeat testing after laundering.
THE SCIENCE OF FRESHNESS
A natural affinity
for odor compounds.
OC6 uses functional sites with an affinity for low-molecular-weight odor compounds. These sites interact with the compounds according to their chemical properties, helping prevent their release into the air.
01 Attract
Functional sites interact with odor compounds, including ammonia and isovaleric acid, bringing them into contact with the technology.
02 Adsorb
The sites hold odor compounds through reversible interactions, limiting the amount released into the air where odors can be detected.
03 Refresh
Washing releases the captured compounds. This frees the functional sites to capture new odors during the next wear.
DESIGNED FOR YOUR PROCESS
Freshness that fits production.
Apply OC6 through padding, exhaust, spray, or foam finishing. Align the treatment with your substrate, equipment, and performance requirements.
Use a finishing bath and controlled wet pickup to distribute OC6 uniformly. Establish the target add-on and drying conditions through trials on the intended fabric.
Use an exhaust process suited to the substrate and equipment. Confirm compatibility, uptake, and distribution before scaling to production.
Use controlled spray coverage to deliver a consistent add-on. Verify treatment uniformity, drying, and wash durability.
Apply OC6 through foam finishing suited to the textile and production line. Confirm foam stability, distribution, and add-on with the finishing team.
Confirm dosage, bath compatibility, add-on, and drying conditions through trials. Request application guidance and validate odor control after laundering before production.
RENEWABLE ORIGINS. CONSIDERED DESIGN.
Rooted in
responsible chemistry.
OC6 draws on castor oil sourced from regenerative agriculture. The castor plant thrives in arid and semi-arid regions and provides a renewable feedstock for functional textile chemistry.
65% bio-based content
Measured using ASTM D6866. OC6 is listed as a certified bio-based technology in the USDA BioPreferred program.
Renewable energy
Processing and production use renewable wind and solar energy.
Durable odor control and refresh through laundering help maintain functional performance over repeated use.
A CLOSER LOOK
Your questions, answered.
How does BIOPURE® OC6 control odor?
OC6 attracts and adsorbs odor compounds at functional sites. These reversible interactions help retain the compounds in the treated textile and limit their release into the air.
Is OC6 an antimicrobial treatment?
OC6 provides non-biocidal odor control through adsorption. Its mechanism does not depend on killing odor-producing bacteria.
How does washing refresh the technology?
Laundering releases the adsorbed compounds and makes the functional sites available to capture new odors during subsequent use.
How durable is the performance?
The current OC6 product information specifies durability through up to 50 home washes. Validate performance on the intended substrate using the proposed finishing process and laundering conditions.
Which textiles and processes can use OC6?
OC6 can be evaluated on cellulosic, synthetic, manmade cellulosic, recycled, and blended textiles. Padding, exhaust, spray, and foam are application routes; confirm suitability through trials.
How should odor control be tested?
Use relevant odor adsorption methods, including AATCC TM216 and ISO 17299-3. Choose odorants that match the intended use and compare treated fabrics with an untreated control before and after laundering.
