Nano-Tex develops nanotechnology-based treatments for textiles, licenses mills to use those treatments, and provides them with the chemistry which enables them to apply the treatments to fabrics.
The treatments include spill and stain resistance, moisture management and anti-static capability.
Because they are based on nanotechnology, the treatments form part of the fabric and do not affect the natural look and feel of the material.
The company combines strength in science with commercial awareness to ensure that its products satisfy the requirements of some of the largest and fastest growing segments of the apparel industry.
More than 100 leading apparel and interior furnishing brands around the world use its treatments.
So far Nano-Tex has relied on venture backing to fund its seven-year development.
However, it has no shortage of potential investors.
As performance apparel moves beyond the traditional areas of outerwear and activewear into everyday clothing, the company is well placed to continue its growth and retain its lead in the field of nanotechnology-based textile treatments.
