Nanomaterials leader Nanophase Technologies announced the initial order for a new textile application that is being introduced to the industry on a global basis. Details of the customer and application remain confidential at this time.
“This order represents the culmination of more than two years of application development with a leading global supplier to the textile industry,” stated Ian Roberts, Vice President of U.S. and International Sales.
“As we have stated, nanomaterial applications for textiles is one of several target markets for Nanophase. This order represents the first product to be introduced for textile applications and we are optimistic about future development and new product introductions.”
“While we do not expect material revenue from this application during 2006 in the initial launch process, we are optimistic about continuing revenue growth from the textile market over the next few years.”
Nanoparticles have been incorporated into products such as nylon, polypropylene and other polymers to provide long-term antimicrobial character even in harsh environments and after extensive thermal cycling.
The need for minimizing or eliminating microbial growth on a variety of textile-based substrates has become a major topic of discussion in numerous industries, including healthcare, home furnishings, filtration and apparel, among others.
