INTRODUCING EMERGING TECHNOLOGY

It is well known that down’s main „down” fall is its poor performance once it gets wet. Loses its insulating properties when wet and is slow to dry. When down becomes wet, it will actualy loose up to 80% of its insulating ability. Takes a long time to dry out again. When down becomes wet, the surface tension of the water causes the down to collapse and it no longer can hold as much air. The air is what insulates.



NANO TREATED DOWN

  • Nanometer particles protect down permanently against wet
  • Not agglomerated after washing
  • Quick dry keep the fullness and warmth
  • Anti-microbial activity

REGULAR DOWN

  • Lost of heat retention when it gets wet
  • Agglomerated after laundry
  • Long time to dry after washing
  • Moisture create unpleasant moldy, musty odors
  • Mites causes allergies


REVOLUTION IN THE DOWN AND FEATHER INDUSTRY

  • NANO technology has been developed over a four year program.
  • After repeated trial and error testing, this application starts to introduce 2011


NANO TREATED DOWN

  • After washing 15 min is 28% dry
  • After washing 30 min is 41.9% dry
  • 350.000 microorganisms/g
  • Test result shows NO detection of PFOA and PFOS

REGULAR DOWN

  • After washing 15 min is 7.2% dry
  • After washing 30 min is 12.6% dry
  • 210.000.000 microorganisms/g


SAFETY OF NANO MATERIAL

CORE NANOMETER PARTICLE – C6 FLUOROPOLYMERS

  • PFOS,PFOA – FREE

Acids

  • BIODEGRADABLE
  • READILY FOR ABSORBED INTO SOIL
  • NEGLIGIBLE ECO-TOXICITYь


DOWN AND FEATER NANO APPLICATION BENEFITS

  • Increase and enhance fill power by 15%
  • Antimicrobial activity againts MRSA E.Colli Staphylococcus
  • Good laundry durability
  • Retain fill power after washing
  • Simple spraying application
