Active Odor Control

BACTERIA CAUSE ODORS

Bacteria grow in damp, warm, dark areas. Therefore damp shoes, socks and feet are a perfect breeding ground for odor-causing bacteria.

ODOR CONTROL

Drymax socks keep feet dry. With moisture gone, the damp environment is eliminated where bacteria like to grow, die, decay and create odor.

 

ACTIVE ODOR CONTROL

To further eliminate odors, we have added an antimicrobial (which we call MicroZap®) into all of our Version 3 Drymax Socks.

Our MicroZap is Milliken’s AlphaSan® antimicrobial. AlphaSan is a zirconium phosphate based ceramic ion-exchange resin which contains silver. The silver antimicrobial is not a topical treatment; it is molecularly infused into our Drymax fibers as they are being extruded. This special process makes it non-migratory,  non-toxic, and produces long term Active Odor Control for our socks.

 

THE SCIENCE THAT KILLS ODORS

MicroZap kills odor causing bacteria because its silver ions interfere with the bacteria’s metabolism
