Can dry-cleaning solvents alter the material?

The company publishes no result for dry-cleaning solvents.

Of the conditions listed on the Validation page, the one that concerns washing is after 60 washes. A named textile report that includes washing is this. Hong Kong Metropolitan University (formerly The Open University of Hong Kong), Test Report IRITS202102160001A, 17 February 2021, tested a plain cotton fabric, a polyester and cotton fabric and a polyester and spandex twill, each without washing and after 60 washes, under BS EN ISO 20743:2013. It covers the washing it describes and no other treatment. ISO 20743 is a contact test on fabric, and its activity value is a difference between a treated fabric and an untreated control; it is not an airborne result. The Textile page states that the NanoFlashing™ Textile has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge, and that the fabric stays waterproof, breathable, strong and washable. Those four properties are what the page says the fabric keeps. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.”

The Terms of Use also state that, as of their effective date, the Textiles chapter describes a Research Application, and that it does not describe a finished product currently available from C-POLAR for that use. Care instructions for a finished garment come from the party that makes and sells it.
