The History
Existing and new technologies combined for a novel solution
Acteev was born as a way to kill bacteria and fungi that cause odor and decay in textiles, nonwovens and engineered materials.
It harnesses the natural antimicrobial power of zinc with the durability and silkiness of premium nylon to create products with permanent protection.
U.S. owned, U.S. made
Based in Houston, Texas, Ascend Performance Materials is a leader in nylon 6,6 resin production. With a 2,600-person global workforce, we make engineered materials, fabrics and fibers used to make safer vehicles, cleaner energy, better medical devices, smarter appliances and longer-lasting apparel and consumer goods.
Caring for you means caring for the planet
