UV-A rays penetrates the skin’s thickest layer, dermis and causes skin damage at the cellular level. Unprotected exposure can lead to premature skin aging and wrinkling (photoaging), and suppression of the immune system. While UV-B rays being more intense usually burn the superficial layers of your skin and damage the outer layers of the skin. It plays a key role in the development of skin cancer.
SOLADELTM UV Shield is a green technology product, based on titania microspheres that offers UV protection from harmful UV-A & UV-B rays and stops them from penetrating the garment and damaging the skin.
This technology is engineered to absorb the most harmful UV-A and UV-B regions of UV rays from sunlight and thus, avoiding the exposure of the skin underneath, leading to its protection.
The efficacy of Soladel UV shield treated fabrics is determined in terms of UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) using a AATCC 183 test protocol.
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) is used to indicate the UV shielding performance of sun protection for fabric products. The UPF values represents the the ratio of the average effective ultraviolet radiation (UV-R) irradiance transmitted and calculated through air to the average effective UV-R irradiance transmitted and calculated through fabric.
N9 Pure Silver is unique because it’s a non-leaching particulate silver technology. It remains intact on the treated textile & works to protect it from bacteria which means that there is a minimal loss of silver in to the environment.
The competition silver-based products are pre-dominantly sliver salts (silver ion) & thus leaching in nature. Not only they require a higher amount of silver to provide the required results, they also leach a lot during washing thus affecting the environment & aquatic life.
It can be easily run in any mill set-up without making any changes. It is also non-ionic in nature. Thus, it is very stable at the time of application; can even be applied in combination finishes, thus saving costs & valuable resources like man-power, water, energy etc.
It imparts anti-bacterial properties to the textile thus keeping it fresh & hygienic.
It is mainly developed for textiles; however, it can be used in leather.
We have got very good response from the industry. We have more than 1000 Brands in India who have already accepted & put this technology in their products. We have also won the Technology Award from the Honourable President of India for the successful commercialization of this technology. Till date N9 Pure Silver is successfully launched in various segments like Inner-wear, Active-wear, Denims, Casual Wear, Formal Pants, School Uniforms, Corporate Uniforms, Bed sheets, Towels, Socks, T shirts etc.
