About Acteev
Acteev is a technology that offers permanent protection built into fibers, filaments and nonwoven materials. Our team of scientists and engineers makes sure our products are thoroughly tested and validated by independent labs. And unlike other protective technology, our solutions are embedded during the production of the polymer, not coated on after. This means there is minimal risk of shedding or rubbing off, allowing products to stay protected for their lifetimes.
