The BIOACTIVE collection from Dyckhoff contains soft terry towelling bed covers, pillows and sheets in 48% Trevira Bioactive/52% cotton. Colours available are pale yellow, pale blue, terra cotta, cream and white. The bed covers can be supplied with hotel seals and come in three sizes (135/200, 155/200 und 155/220).
Dyckhoff also offer hand towels and bathrobes with antimicrobial Trevira fibres. The range includes hand towels (50/100), shower towels (70/140), sauna towels (70/200 cm) in white and ice blue. Other sizes can be made to order.
There is a demonstrably substantial cut in the growth of bacteria on textiles in Trevira Bioactive. In addition, the materials stop odours building up, so that they stay fresh even after use. The silver-based agent is firmly anchored in the fibre, with the result that the antimicrobial effect of towelling in Trevira Bioactive remains unaffected even after 100 wash cycles.
Yarns used by Dyckhoff are certified to the Belcoro Standard, so that textiles stay soft, fleecy and absorbent even after washing. They are fast to wash and rub, dimensionally stable and carry the Oeko-Tex Certificate.
