Integrating Odor Capture in Firefighter PPE | Microban

Odor Control Solutions for High-Performance Firefighter PPE

Odor is one of the most challenging aspects of firefighter PPE. From smoke to sweat, persistent odors can linger long after the job is done. Discover how EcoFresh™ odor-control technology helps manufacturers create gear that stays fresher, performs better, and is Oeko-Tex® certified.

In the demanding world of firefighter gear, performance matters and that includes odor control. Between intense physical exertion, environmental exposure, and prolonged wear, firefighter uniforms are constantly up against a powerful mix of odors: smoke, sweat, and airborne contaminants.

That’s where EcoFresh™ by Microban comes in.

Odor control that works as hard as firefighters do
