OEKO-TEX® is dedicated to supporting sustainable and responsible production across the textile and leather industries, ensuring the protection of natural resources and consumer safety. The use of ACPs, which are crucial in certain textile applications, is tightly regulated. ACPs are either already integrated in fiber production or added during a later phase of textile manufacture.
AGXX® has passed the toxicological assessment by OEKO-TEX®. This assessment was conducted in accordance with the latest European regulations, based on detailed substance information and formula provided by Heraeus Precious Metals.
Now listed on the OEKO-TEX® ACP list, AGXX® is authorized for use in textile eligible for STANDARD 100 certification by OEKO-TEX®.
