Groundbreaking Antimicrobial Processing Technology ——

Pioneering Metal-Free, Bio-Based Antimicrobial Solutions

Processed with Bioserica’s proprietary O-S/O-F technology, natural and synthetic fibers gain specialized functionalities—including non-leaching broad-spectrum antimicrobial/antiviral protection, odor inhibition and elimination, long-lasting wash durability, and eco-friendly safety—while preserving their fundamental properties. All fibers enhanced with O-S/O-F technology to achieve these specialized functions are designated as Bioserica Pro^® fiber.

Technology Features

Metal-Free

Bio-based antimicrobial technology containing no heavy metal ions, ensuring exceptional biosafety.

Strong Versatility

Highly compatible with natural fibers, synthetic fibers, and regenerated cellulose fibers available on the market, offering a very broad application scope.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

The entire process is resource-efficient, eco-friendly, safe, and pollution-free, demonstrating high environmental compatibility.

OPHB bio-based antibacterial agent

The antimicrobial functions of Bioserica’s fiber come from OPHB. OPHB is a broad-spectrum bio-based antimicrobial compound that is environmentally friendly and safe. It is certified by Beta Analytic, a radiocarbon dating lab in the fields of archaeology and late quaternary geology, as derived from bio-based carbon.

Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial

OPHB exhibits outstanding inhibitory or neutralizing effects against a broad-spectrum of gram-positive, gram-negative bacteria, and fungi (such as mold).

Odor-Suppressing

OPHB inhibits and neutralizes odor-causing bacteria, leading to odor suppression or elimination.

Non-Leaching

OPHB is insoluble in water and will not enter the human body through sweat and will not damage the probiotic flora on human skin.

Biocompatibility

OPHB is a compound of hydroxybutyric acid, a molecule produced by the human body and commonly found in human blood plasma, which underpins OPHB’s biocompatibility.

High-Temperature Resistance

OPHB remains stable and does not decompose at temperature up to 400°C.

Environmental Friendliness

OPHB’s primary raw material is bio-based polymers.

Safety and Non-Toxicity

OPHB is non-toxic when ingested, non-irritating to the skin, and shows negative results for reproductive cell chromosomal mutations.

Long-Lasting Antimicrobial and Wash Resistance

Textiles employing OPHB maintain excellent antimicrobial effects even after high intensity washing or mercerizing processes.

O-S Technology

Bioserica developed its innovative O-S Technology by applying traditional SCF Technology to combine the unique properties of supercritical CO2 fluid with the distinct physicochemical characteristics of OPHB. This O-S Technology allows all natural and chemical fibers to retain their inherent properties while gaining additional functionalities such as broad-spectrum bio-based antimicrobial properties, odor suppression and elimination, long-lasting wash resistance, safety and environmental friendliness, and non-leaching performance.Staple fibers produced with O-S Technology have the following features:

Long-lasting Washing Resistance
No impact on spinnability and technical specifications
No Impact on Functionality
No Impact on Wearability

O-F Technology

O-F Technology is the core method for producing Bioserica Pro^® filament. This technology involves fixating OPHB onto the surface layers of filaments during continuous melt spinning and solidification process through physical interactions. Filaments produced with O-F Technology show no differences in physical performance indicators compared to those made with traditional methods while gaining functionalities such as antimicrobial properties, odor suppression and elimination, long-lasting wash resistance, safety and environmental friendliness, and non-leaching performance.Filaments produced with O-F Technology have the following features:
