Concern for the environment is important to everyone these days. We all live on the same planet and must work together to protect it.

At Thomson Research Associates we have always taken our environmental responsibilities seriously. Our antimicrobial treatments are formulated to give customers the performance they require while using only the most environmentally friendly ingredients.

Products treated with Ultra-Fresh and Silpure make their own contribution to environmental protection. By controlling the bacteria, fungi, molds and mildew that cause premature deterioration, we extend the lives of the treated items, keeping waste out of landfills. Also, treated textiles require less frequent laundering, which reduces consumption of detergents, water and energy.

The safety of all our antimicrobial product treatments is confirmed by government regulation. In the United States, our products are registered with the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA reviews the safety and environmental impact of our antimicrobials before they are introduced to the market. In other parts of the world we work with equivalent agencies and NGOs.

A continuous development program at Thomson Research Associates laboratories ensure that when environmentally safer solutions can be found, they will be made available. We strive continually to make our existing antimicrobial treatments greener while improving their performance for the benefit of our customers and the end consumer.
