How is NanoFlashing designed into textiles?

Which textile performance statements survive the exact washing and finishing process planned for the garment?

Building the material into a garment is the work of the partner that makes it, and that partner's own testing decides what the garment can be said to do.

The company publishes no result for a particular garment's washing and finishing process, because building the material into a garment is the work of the partner that makes it, and that partner's own testing decides what the garment can be said to do.

The Terms of Use state: “A prospective partner or manufacturer must perform its own testing, validation, compatibility work, safety review, risk review, and quality controls for its proposed product and use.” They also state: “Each reported result belongs to the C-POLAR material, component, or prototype that was tested. The maker of a finished product confirms the performance of that product, because construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use are part of it.” The About page states that development runs configuration by configuration, and that each partner controls what is said about the work, and that the goal is a product that keeps every property it already had and gains a new capability. Hong Kong Metropolitan University (formerly The Open University of Hong Kong), Test Report IRITS202102160001A, 17 February 2021, tested samples without washing and after 60 washes, under BS EN ISO 20743:2013. ISO 20743 is a contact test on fabric, and its activity value is a difference against a control; it is not an airborne result.

The Terms of Use 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. The property itself is a charge on the material. The NanoFlashing™ Textile has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge; it is a physical property of the material, so it goes where the material goes and no further.

The property itself is a charge on the material. The NanoFlashing™ Textile has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge; it is a physical property of the material, so it goes where the material goes and no further.

Would a bedding application need different comfort evidence from a garment application?

The Textile page states: “The NanoFlashing™ Textile has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge,” and that the fabric stays waterproof, breathable, strong and washable. Those four are what the company publishes about what the fabric retains, and comfort is not among them, for bedding or for a garment.

The Terms of Use 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. They also state: “Results of tests on a material, component, sample, or prototype apply to that item. The safety, efficacy, suitability, durability, compatibility, manufacturability, scalability, and performance of a finished product are confirmed by testing that finished product.” A materials review is arranged in writing, through [email protected] on the Contact page.

Can the material be used in footwear without trapping excessive moisture?

The Textile page states: “The NanoFlashing™ Textile has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge,” and that the fabric stays waterproof, breathable, strong and washable. Those four are what the company publishes about what the fabric retains; breathable is one of them, and the page names no footwear use.

The Terms of Use 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.

Does a sportswear claim about odour control have evidence separate from a surface antimicrobial result?

The Validation page names what was tested, the conditions and the institutions, and gives report and certificate numbers for the air-filtration, certification and safety records, and the organisms in that record are the viruses, bacteria and fungi listed on it.

What it states is about particles and about the organisms it names. NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction. The published record covers airborne particles and those organisms, and it covers no gas, no vapour and no odour.

The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.” The published record covers airborne particles and the organisms the Validation page names, so the company makes no odour claim.

Will a NanoFlashing shirt kill the good bacteria on my skin?

The Textile page states: “The NanoFlashing™ Textile has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge.” It also states: “The fabric stays waterproof, breathable, strong and washable.”

The company publishes no result on the bacteria that live on a person's skin, and the Terms of Use state: “As of the Effective Date, the Water, Textiles, Food packaging, and Medical devices chapters describe Research Applications. They do not describe finished products currently available from C-POLAR for those uses.”

The Validation page states: “NanoFlashing™ is certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Product Class II, the class for products in direct contact with skin.”
