• Impregnation of fibres and textiles to achieve antisoiling and easy-to-clean properties

Method

• Inorganic-organic nanocomposit material with perfluorinated organic groups produced by the sol-gel-process
• Application with common wet coating techniques as spray- or dipcoating and curing at room temperature or moderate temperatures (60 to 130 °C)

• Reduced wetting behavior comparable to perfluorinated textiles and thereby antisoiling and Easy-to-clean properties (surface free energy » 19 mJ/m²)
• Transparent, no discoloration
• No significant effect on haptic
• Can be applicated on cotton, wool and artifical fibres and close-meshed metal grilles

Advantages

• Saving of detergents
• Less cleaning cycles
• More safety against wetting with rain, water,...
