Simple use - Safe and simple also applies to the use: The newly-formulated components for this future considered finishing technology can be incorporated simply and directly into the finishing bath in specified quantities. An aqueous stabilized formulation ensures that the nanoparticles cannot be inhaled during further processing in manufacturing plants.
Permanent performance and high levels of safety in use
The examination of the new NanoSphere finish by the internationally renowned Hohenstein Research Institute confirms consistently positive properties. In original state and after mechanical exposure to 5000 abrasion cycles and 30 wash cycles (with subsequent heat treatment) the finish is certified as having a very high and lasting level of hydrophobic and oleophobic properties.
"The new NanoSphere finish is undoubtedly a nanotechnology," confirms Dr. Jan Beringer, the institute's Head of Testing and Director of the Textile Services and Innovations Department. "We also tested the biological safety in terms of possible biological activity (cytotoxicity and genotoxicity or HET-CAM). NanoSphere passed all tests with excellent ratings and is safe."
