The filamentous material is comprised of a two-part system wherein a first part is the presence of an agent or chemical functionality that imparts antimicrobial performance and a second part which is one or more agents or chemical functionalities that act upon the antimicrobial performance and render that performance ineffective or inactive. Having the first antimicrobial performance part and the second antimicrobial performance inactivating part in interactive proximity, at least some excess, unused or residual antimicrobial agent is deactivated and prevented from negatively effecting the environment and related decomposition pathways.4/13 FIG. 4 80 70 - - - i bN R h
