Why choose
QuatLock
Superior Anti-microbial Properties
QuatLock offers a high-performance anti-microbial finish on your fabric. Additionally, QuatLock provides anti-fungal, anti-viral, and odor protection for textiles. This ensures that your products remain fresh and hygienic for longer periods.
Long-Lasting Protection
Unlike any other anti-microbial finish for textiles, QuatLock's non-consumable layer defends your products without losing effectiveness over time. This means continuous protection without the need for frequent reapplications.
Environmentally Friendly
QuatLock is designed to be non-leaching, ensuring that it does not release harmful substances into the environment. This makes it a sustainable choice for anti-microbial protection for your fabrics. Additionally, QuatLock is 40% bio-based making it a more responsible choice.

How QuatLock Works
When QuatLock is applied to a product it forms a microscopic defensive shield.
The anti-microbial component of QuatLock is called a Silane Quat and it acts like a tiny electrical spear. When a microbe comes in contact with it, a very small electrical interaction occurs, and the microbe is destroyed.
Unlike many other anti-microbial finishes for textiles, the QuatLock layer is not consumed during disinfection, allowing it to defend products for long periods of time without depleting in effectiveness.

Questions
What is anti-odor finish?
An anti-odor finish is a treatment applied to fabrics to capture, block, or kill odor-causing bacteria. This technology neutralizes bacteria before it interacts with sweat, reducing body odor. QuatLock provides an anti-odor finish by delivering superior odor protection and ensuring textiles stay fresher for longer.
What is the best fabric for odor control?
The best fabrics for odor control include:
- Cotton and Linen: These are breathable and durable, allowing air circulation to prevent musty smells
- Leather: Naturally odor-resistant and easy to clean
- Wool: Repels odors and inhibits bacteria growth
QuatLock can enhance the odor control properties of these fabrics by providing a long-lasting anti-microbial finish for textiles that prevents the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
What absorbs odor from fabric?
Several substances can absorb odors from fabric, including:
- Baking Soda: Known for its odor-absorbing properties.
- White Vinegar: A natural deodorizer and disinfectant.
- Essential Oils: Add pleasant fragrances to fabrics.
In addition to these substances, QuatLock's anti-microbial finish can help prevent the buildup of odor-causing bacteria, keeping fabrics fresher for longer.
What is an anti-microbial finish on fabric?
An anti-microbial finish on fabric is a treatment that inhibits the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

How does anti-microbial finish work?
An anti-microbial finish works by forming a microscopic defensive shield on the fabric. The anti-microbial component, often a Quat (quaternary ammonium compound), acts like a tiny electrical spear. When a microbe comes in contact with it, a small electrical interaction occurs, destroying the microbe. Unlike many anti-microbials, this layer is not consumed during disinfection, allowing it to defend products for long periods without losing effectiveness. QuatLock uses this technology to provide long-lasting anti-microbial protection.
What is the most anti-microbial fabric?
Silver-based and copper-based fabrics are among the most anti-microbial. Silver ions kill microorganisms and are effective against a wide variety of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Copper also has anti-microbial properties and can inhibit the growth of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. QuatLock can be applied to various fabrics to enhance their anti-microbial properties, making them more effective in preventing microbial growth.
What are benefits of an anti-microbial finish on fabric?
The benefits of an anti-microbial finish on fabric include:
- Staying Cleaner and Fresher Longer: Inhibits odor-causing bacteria, mold, and mildew
- Fewer Washes: Reduces the need for frequent washing
- Odor Control: Prevents the growth of bacteria that cause odors
- Longer Product Life: Protects against microbial degradation
QuatLock provides all these benefits by offering a high-performance anti-microbial finish that ensures textiles remain fresh, hygienic, and durable.
