Schoeller Technologies AG, the business unit for technologies at Schoeller Textil AG, has recently launched its new finishing technology called NanoSphere Plus. The special effect of this new development is its protection against fingerprints and greasy stains. Even after being absorbed by the fabric, stains are quickly and easily wiped away without washing.

“NanoSphere Plus works on the basis of a functional chain. Textiles are equipped with a matrix finish to reduce the capillary effect in the textile’s fibres. Especially unpleasant sebum residues and dirt that are often released by finger and handprints are less absorbed by the fabric and can be easily wiped away,” said a press release from Schoeller.

Beside the excellent protection against finger and handprints, textiles with NanoSphere Plus are additionally water and oil repellent, abrasion resistant and extremely durable. The finishing technology rarely affects the look or feel of the fabric.

Non-washable textiles that are often touched by hands or fingers, or fabrics that are in direct contact with the skin benefit most from this new technology. Therefore, NanoSphere Plus is ideal for woven fabrics and synthetic leather or synthetic suede for bags, covers of electronical devices, head phones, loud speakers or other items in the field of interior equipment.

Schoeller Textil AG is a global leader in high-performance textile manufacturing specialising in the sustainable development and production of innovative textiles and textile technologies. (PC)
