Environmental Statement

Company Information

Nano-Tex is an advanced materials company developing innovative polymer and polymer-related chemistries to enhance and create superior performance in fabrics. Our chemistries, developed for use at the nano scale, are revolutionary in their ability to attach to fibers and permanently bond to the fabric at the molecular level. The result is a family of product offerings that enhance fabric performance and durability not previously attainable.

Environmental Impact

While the nano-scale size of Nano-Tex's chemistries provide unique and advanced performance characteristics in fabrics, the foundation of our chemistries is known, familiar and consistent with applications of more traditional textile treatments.

AtmosphereThe chemicals and processes utilized by Nano-Tex are subject to worldwide environmental, health, safety, and regulatory requirements. Nano-Tex formulations and fabrics optimized with our technologies meet or exceed all environmental, health, and safety standards mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration and the Consumer Product Safety Commission in the United States as well as standards mandated by similar regulatory bodies in the European Union, Latin America and Asia-Pacific regions. Nano-Tex formulations and treated fabric samples are evaluated by authorized, independent organizations, including the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, and are established as safe in all required categories of skin sensitivity, toxicity, environmental safety, and personal health.
