NanoSphere Reformulated for Durability and Eco-friendliness
NanoSphere patent owner Schoeller Technologies AG and Clariant International Ltd., which last September announced a strategic distribution partnership, now have jointly researched and developed a new NanoSphere finish.
The new finish offers self-cleaning properties, oil and water repellency, abrasion resistance and washing permanence.
The finish is designed to be ecologically friendly. Because of the use of modern C6 fluorocarbon technology, NanoSphere is free of PFOA and PFOS.
It also meets the specifications of the bluesign standard, under which, among other things, nanotechnology must offer a "controlled and controllable product."
For example, a specially developed coating matrix ensures that the millions of nanoparticles on the fabric's surface cannot come adrift. As such, there is no danger that they will dissolve during washing, dry cleaning or ironing.
