Harris & Menuk to bring Fuze’s antimicrobial tech to South Asia
Harris & Menuk Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., a trusted leader in textile chemical innovation, today announced a strategic partnership with Fuze Technologies, a U.S.-based pioneer in sustainable surface technologies. Through this collaboration, Harris & Menuk will serve as the exclusive partner for FUZE across India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, bringing a revolutionary antimicrobial solution to the South Asian textile industry.
Harris & Menuk Chemicals has partnered with US-based Fuze Technologies to bring FUZE, a chemical-free, metal-free permanent antimicrobial solution, to India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
FUZE offers sustainable, non-toxic odour control for diverse textile segments without affecting fabric feel, supporting circular and high-performance textiles.
FUZE: Chemical-Free, Sustainable Permanent Antimicrobial for a Circular Future
FUZE is a patented, non-toxic, non-leaching, and chemical-free antimicrobial and anti-odor technology that has earned approvals from leading global authorities, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and California Proposition 65.
Backed by more than 52 international patents, FUZE is recognized as one of the most advanced and sustainable antimicrobial technologies available today. Unlike conventional antimicrobial finishes that rely on heavy metals or harsh chemicals, FUZE is entirely metal-free and made from naturally occurring, recycled elements. FUZE is a certified bluesign Partner, and this makes it perfectly aligned with the growing global demand for recyclable, circular, and environmentally responsible textiles.
Versatile Applications with Proven Results
FUZE can be applied to textiles through spray, coating, padding, or exhaust methods, making it highly adaptable for various market segments, including:
- Medical Textiles
- Athleisure & Sportswear
- Innerwear & Intimates
- Uniforms & Workwear
- Home Textiles & Hospitality
The treatment enhances odor control, cooling sensation, quick-dry functionality, and UV protection, all without affecting the touch, breathability, or visual appeal of the fabric.
Backed by Science. Supported by Expertise.
With a deep technical foundation and decades of market experience, Harris & Menuk is ideally positioned to introduce FUZE across South Asia. The company will provide comprehensive commercial and technical support, helping mills and brands seamlessly integrate FUZE into their operations while meeting evolving sustainability and performance standards.
“Our partnership with Fuze Technologies underscores our long-standing commitment to performance-driven, sustainable innovation,” said Ineeyan Ariyaratnam, CEO of Harris & Menuk. “FUZE embodies our vision of Conscious Chemistry – delivering protection, comfort, and circularity without compromise.”
