Abstract
The present invention relates to a composition and methods for odor and fungal control in ballistic fabrics and other protective garments. The composition is essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric or react negatively with the ballistic fabric or other protective gear. The composition is preferably applied as small particle size droplets, especially from spray containers. The cyclodextrin/surfactant combination, either alone, or in combination with the other ingredients, provides improved antimicrobial and antifungal activity.
