Through a comprehensive biocidal product review process, Noble demonstrated that the XT2™ product line meets bluesign® requirements for durability, adherence, efficacy, and low human toxicity, among other quality and safety performance measures.

"This next milestone in our partnership with bluesign® demonstrates our continued commitment to sustainability," said Jeff Keane, CEO, Noble Biomaterials.
