Description:
This new product joins the current line of SmartSilver for polyester, nylon, polypropylene, cotton and rayon. SmartSilver leverages nanotechnology to impart anti-odor performance to fabrics. SmartSilver is applied to wool using typical fabric and garment dye systems.
SmartSilver imparts anti-odor/antimicrobial capabilities to wool through modifications engineered at the molecular level. Wool, because of its native properties, such as natural oils, has posed unique challenges to previous anti-odor technologies. Wool's original properties, including hand, dyeability, stretch, wicking and thermal properties reportedly remain unchanged with SmartSilver.
SmartSilver is compatible with existing manufacturing processes for fiber and fabrics. SmartSilver-enhanced fibers can be used to create odor-resistant undergarments, hats, gloves, socks, T-shirts, sweaters, shoe linings, carpets and more.
NanoHorizons is a custom nanoscale materials engineering company. The company's SmartSilver™ brand is recognized worldwide as a leader in providing anti-odor/antimicrobial protection to natural and synthetic fibers and fabrics. SmartSilver additives, along with NanoHorizons' other technologies, solve real-world challenges through nanoscale engineering, in industries ranging from performance apparel to medical instrumentation |
