VisaEndurance for outer layers, being introduced for the first time, is a polymer-based technology that adsorbs human body odors, releasing them later during normal laundering. The outer layer garments effectively filter out odors escaping from the skin before they can be detected.

The technology works wet or dry, and the odors are released by normal laundering. Garments can be either drip-dried or tumble dried. Fabrics made with VisaEndurance for outer layers are more breathable, flexible, and less bulky than activated carbon-containing fabrics because they are single-ply fabrics, making them comfortable and ideal for a variety of hunting pursuits or outdoor activities.

“We've extended the benefits of moisture management and odor control capabilities to outerwear. We now offer a complete Scent Control System for apparel – from knit under layers and mid-layers to woven outerwear,” said Lyn Murajda, division brand manager of the Apparel and Specialty Fabrics Division at Milliken. “VisaEndurance technologies offer wicking, quick-drying, breathability and odor control, making them a top choice among all outdoor enthusiasts, but especially among hunters.”

Milliken will be demonstrating its VisaEndurance scent control technologies at the 2007 SHOT Show, January 11-14, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Visit Milliken at Booth #1116.

VisaEndurance is a smart fabric technology from Milliken that combines an effective, long-lasting odor control technology with moisture management and unique stain releasing capabilities.
