Functional surface technologies for durable textiles and textile floor coverings

Modern textiles and textile floor coverings are expected to meet the highest standards of functionality, comfort and durability and

Technical textiles, carpets, textile floor coverings and high-quality interior textiles are exposed to a wide range of stresses every day. Contamination, moisture, abrasion, intensive use and environmental influences can affect the appearance, functionality and service life of high-quality materials over time.

Nanopool’s surface technologies are based on innovative nanotechnology and have been developed to protect textile materials, preserve their material properties and extend the life cycles of high-quality textiles.

Challenges for modern textiles and soft flooring

Manufacturers, operators and users face the challenge of maintaining the long-term performance of high-quality textile materials while reducing maintenance requirements, operating costs and resource consumption.

Durable, easy-care textile surfaces are a particularly important factor in high-traffic areas.

The technology

Nanotechnology for functional textiles

Nanopool’s NP® Liquid Glass technology forms an ultra-thin, transparent protective layer on a variety of textile materials.

By specifically functionalising the surface, water- and dirt-repellent properties are created without significantly altering the material’s natural appearance, feel or breathability.

The nanocoating for textiles supports the long-term protection of high-quality materials, facilitates care and maintenance processes, and helps to extend the service life of textile surfaces.

The technology is suitable for a wide range of applications in industry, architecture, mobility, hospitality and high-quality interiors.
