Today’s textile manufacturers must balance microbiological performance, regulatory compliance, and growing environmental expectations.
PRONEEM BIOACTIVE® delivers a next-generation solution combining high performance with a carefully controlled formulation.
The development of this technology was co-funded by the European Union as part of a program supporting sustainable innovation.
The ABSoluTEX project enabled PRONEEM to develop PRONEEM BIOACTIVE®, a 100% bio-based antibacterial solution designed for textile applications.
This R&D program aims to accelerate the ecological transition of the textile industry by developing lower-impact functional treatments while ensuring high levels of performance and durability.
Within the framework of ABSoluTEX, PRONEEM:
• Develops and validates a high-performance bio-based antibacterial solution
• Optimizes its integration into industrial textile processes
• Enhances the long-term durability of the treatment
• Reduces the environmental footprint associated with functional textile finishes
The development of PRONEEM BIOACTIVE® represents a strategic milestone toward a more responsible textile value chain. The project is part of a broader approach aimed at facilitating the integration of bio-based solutions into eco-design and textile recycling strategies.
The ABSoluTEX project is co-funded by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) – Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Alpine Massif Programme 2021–2027.

PRONEEM BIOACTIVE® provides long-lasting protection for textiles against bacteria and dust mites.
Up to 99.99% antibacterial efficacy
100% dust mite efficacy
Anti-odor effect
Durable beyond 20 washes
Cleaner textiles, for longer.
The technology is based on a 100% bio-based active ingredient derived from a naturally occurring organic compound. Its effectiveness helps reduce washing frequency, lowering water and energy consumption. A solution aligned with the expectations of a more sustainable market.
PRONEEM BIOACTIVE® is formulated without heavy metals or quaternary ammonium compounds, which are commonly used in conventional treatments.
The solution has undergone dermatological validation and has been tested by independent laboratories, ensuring safety and suitability for textiles in direct contact with the skin.
PRONEEM BIOACTIVE® complies with the main international standards for antibacterial efficacy. The solution is BPR compliant, with EPA registration currently pending.
It enables brands to secure their technical claims and strengthen their responsible positioning across their markets.
99.99% antibacterial efficacy
100% dust mite efficacy
Anti-odor textile performance
Effective beyond 20 washes
PRONEEM BIOACTIVE® technology works by creating an active barrier on the surface of the textile that inhibits the growth of bacteria and dust mites.
This action limits the development of odor-causing microorganisms and helps maintain textile freshness and cleanliness over time.
PRONEEM BIOACTIVE® is applied during the textile finishing stage by padding or spraying and is compatible with home textiles, apparel, accessories, healthcare applications, and upholstery.
