OTS - Nano-Care Deutschland AG develops a highly sophisticated impregnation for textiles to replace C8 fluorocarbon technologies
2018. February 07. 08:00
Saarwellingen, 7 February, 2018 (APA/OTS) - Nano-Care Deutschland
AG , a mid-sized company based in Saarwellingen will offer a
coating system for water and oil repellency that aims to
revolutionize textile finishing. Removal of "C8 fluorocarbon
technology", which will be banned due to its emissions of PFOS and
PFOA, leaves a significant performance gap in the market" says
Oliver Sonntag, Nano-Care Director.
"The great challenge for us has been to retain existing high
standards of oil repellency - whilst eliminating long-chain
fluorination. We have solved this problem by creating a special
silicon dioxide backbone." The result - Nanoflex F-Bond , marketed
under the umbrella brand INTELLIGENT HYBRIDS is based on liquid
concentrates and is applied using common industrial dipping
methods. For many years there has been strong pressure for
innovation in the textile finishing sector to meet increasing
regulation and ecological demands. As a spin-off from the Leibniz
Institute for New Materials (INM), Nano-Care Deutschland AG sees a
market potential amounting to the hundreds of millions Euros. "Our
particular focus is on military, work-wear and health sectors which
have to satisfy especially high performance requirements and
currently have only temporary permission to use C8 technologies.
Their elimination - particularly outside the European Union - is an
important step towards achieving "ecological sustainability" in the
textile industry."
Nano-Care Deutschland AG has been developing innovative
coatings for textiles and other surfaces since its founding in the
year 2000. On reorganizing its corporate structure at the beginning
of 2018, the new Textile Effects' department will develop further
specialization in the sector. Specifically the company partners
"private label" clients, be they manufacturers of surface coatings,
distributors of chemical products or users of high-tech surface
finishes. Currently, companies and consumers in more than 65
countries benefit from their multi-functional performance
advantages.
