PRESERVED MATERIALS + PROTECTED ENVIRONMENTS

The natural action of microorganisms can cause stains and odors in fabrics. Thanks to advancements in nanomaterials, it is now possible to control their proliferation, ensuring greater protection and durability.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

In the First Half of 2020, as the novel coronavirus spread rapidly, items like masks, lab coats, t-shirts, and professional uniforms received a technological upgrade to enhance their protection.
 
In June, Nanox became the first Brazilian company to demonstrate the efficacy of its technology against SARS-CoV-2, achieving 99% viral inactivation within just 2 minutes in laboratory tests.
 
In addition to preventing odors and stains caused by microorganisms, Nanox’s antimicrobial technology delivers advanced microbiological control.

WHERE CAN IT BE APPLIED?

Casual clothing and accessories

Fabrics with antibacterial and anti-odor properties offer greater practicality and comfort, keeping products fresh for longer. Nanox technologies also provide antiviral and repellent features, enhancing overall protection.

Professional uniforms, shirts, and nonwoven fabrics

The application of Nanox antimicrobial technology in both woven and nonwoven textiles ensures enhanced microbiological safety, offering benefits such as COVID-19 protection and odor control—essential for professional environments.

Bedding, table linens, and towels

Whether at home or in hospitality settings, bedding, table linens, and towels are prone to dirt, stains, and contamination from bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The application of antimicrobial technology makes cleaning easier, preserves product quality, and provides greater safety for both users and businesses.

FAQ

How does Nanox’s antimicrobial technology work?
Nanox applies silver-based technology to materials, granting them antimicrobial properties. This creates a protective barrier that, upon contact with pathogens, works to deactivate them.
 
The silver technology operates by causing the precipitation of proteins and denaturing the cell membrane, resulting in a microbicidal effect.
Which microorganisms are targeted by Nanox’s antimicrobial technology? What does broad-spectrum protection mean?
Nanox’s technology provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection. Using silver as the active ingredient—a natural antimicrobial with well-documented effectiveness—the technology ensures wide-ranging action.
 
Through testing, the precise amount of material required to combat most pathogens is determined. These include viruses such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, CCoV, H1N1, and Adenovirus; bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella abony; and fungi, including Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
How durable are antimicrobial properties in additive-enhanced materials?
When Nanox’s antimicrobial solution is integrated during material production, the antimicrobial property becomes part of the material’s structure, lasting for the entire lifespan of the product.
 
In cases where the additive is applied as a coating, only the surface of the material gains microbicidal properties. Consequently, the antimicrobial action’s durability matches the lifespan of the coating.
Does the solution pose any risks to pets or children?

The product is applied in minimal quantities, ensuring it is non-toxic to animals and humans who come into contact with the material. Its action is effective exclusively against harmful microorganisms.

What are the possible applications of antimicrobial technology in the construction industry?

Nanox’s antimicrobial solution can be used on surfaces in coatings, such as glazes for tiles and in paints and varnishes, as well as within the core of materials, such as cement-based flooring products.

Are there any handling, maintenance, or cleaning practices that could compromise the antimicrobial Effect?

The technology is resistant to chemicals and high temperatures. As a result, cleaning products such as chlorine, bleach, and others are safe to use without affecting the antimicrobial action.

Are additive-enhanced materials effective in both indoor and outdoor environments?

Yes, the technology remains effective regardless of environmental factors, such as temperature changes, sun exposure, or contact with rain, ensuring reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor settings.
