Functional textiles for NATO military units
NanoAg Technology
NanoAg employs silver nanoparticles that are permanently embedded within the polymer structure of the fibre – these particles do not wash out, degrade, or lose their antibacterial effectiveness.
Variant A
- PESnano
- Cotton
A universal blend offering antibacterial properties and high comfort.
Variant B
- PESnano
- Cotton
- Antistatic Carbon
An enhanced blend suitable for environments with electronics or munitions, delivering antistatic properties through carbon, without compromising drying performance.
Performance-Oriented Apparel
Permanent Antibacterial Protection
Silver nanoparticles are an integral part of the fibre – they cannot be washed out or degraded over time.
Water and Energy
Savings Less frequent laundering (up to 67% less water used) and reduced drying times.
Logistical Advantages
Fewer washes mean less maintenance and lower water consumption, leading to a reduction in the personal gear load for personnel.
Enhanced Comfort
Improved thermoregulation, lower moisture retention, reduced friction, and an ergonomic design.
Sustainability
Consistent performance throughout the product’s lifespan with no nanoparticle release.
Safety
The carbon-infused variant protects against electrostatic discharge.
UV Protection
Mechanical UV filtering without chemical additives.
Performance Confirmed by Data
Comparison of Key Properties
The antibacterial effect of NanoAg technology is permanent and cannot be washed out.Rigorous testing indicates up to a 35% reduction in skin reactions compared to conventional polyesters.
Water Consumption Comparison During Laundering
The table illustrates estimated water consumption when washing a cotton T-shirt versus a PESnano nano-fibre T-shirt, based on typical usage and washing frequency.
Logistical Benefits
Significant reduction in water and energy required for maintenance.
Lower logistical burden – less frequent replacement needed.
Reduced health complications, including dermatological reactions and infections.
Twice the lifespan compared to cotton garments -> lower replenishment costs.
