Antimicrobial textile technology with real impact on the industry
Our solution is based on an antimicrobial textile technology designed to add functionality and value to textile fibres, addressing one of the key challenges in the sector: improving garment durability without significantly altering production processes.
At NOB166, we develop solutions for the textile sector ranging from additives for the manufacture of permanent antimicrobial textiles to ready-to-use products such as NOB166 Protect Clothes. This no-rinse textile protector helps protect textile surfaces for seven days against mites, microorganisms and bad odours, while also contributing to improved textile durability. It is very easy to use: simply spray and let it dry.
Key benefits of our antimicrobial textile technology
- Helps prevent microorganisms, mites and bad odours.
- Improves textile durability.
- Contributes to the development of more sustainable textiles.
- Easily integrates into existing industrial processes.
This approach enables the development of more durable, efficient products aligned with current market demands. More information here.
It was also a pleasure to share this space with other participating companies such as DELFI, Fashion Myway, Kimera Technologies, ecoDoers, Drelife and Averiun, with whom we were able to exchange views and concerns about the future of textile innovation.
