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

The company publishes no result for a particular garment's washing and finishing process.

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: “A test of C-POLAR material, a component, or a prototype does not establish the performance of a finished product that incorporates it. Construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use may change the result.” 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 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. 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 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 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.

Construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use may change the result.” 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.

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 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.

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

The company publishes no comfort evidence for bedding or for garments, and it does not carry one to the other.

The 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. It publishes no measurement of drape, stretch recovery, wicking, warmth, colour fastness, whiteness, hand feel, fabric noise or tear strength, and it does not carry a result across to a property a test did not cover.

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: “A test of a material, component, sample, or prototype does not establish the safety, efficacy, suitability, durability, compatibility, manufacturability, scalability, or performance of a 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 company publishes no footwear use and no moisture measurement for one.

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

The company publishes no odour result and makes no odour claim.

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.”

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

The company publishes no result on skin bacteria, and textiles are a research application, not a product C-POLAR currently offers.

“The NanoFlashing™ Textile captures and destroys viruses, bacteria and fungal spores, and stays waterproof, breathable, strong and washable”. That is how the Textile page describes the application. 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.”
