The Science Behind Nano Coating for Textiles and Sofas
                                           The Science Behind Nano Coating For Textiles and Sofas 
 
Introduction
As the current times require fabrics and upholstery to last, be easy to look after, and 
not be harmful to the environment, nano coatings for textiles have now taken a 
leading role. Rather than use rough solvents or big polymer layers, nano coatings 
use fine silica particles to make a thin and transparent shield across fabric fibers. As 
a result, nano-treated sofas are less absorbent, so water droplets or oil spots do not 
spread on them. Thanks to nano coating for textiles, manufacturers of performance 
fabrics, commercial upholstery, and soft furnishings used in busy places can supply 
their customers with excellent staining protection, prolong their items’ life span, and 
cut down on required cleaning.
Advanced Nano Coating Technology
Vetro Power employs advanced nanotechnology to formulate products designed to 
protect fabrics while ensuring they remain stain-resistant and comfortable. The 
primary component of this coating is a specialized aqueous solution that envelops 
textile fibers with a transparent layer, effectively enabling water and oil spills to bead 
up and roll off with ease. Recently, Vetro Power introduced a new product line of 
nano coating for textiles that is devoid of PFOA, PFOS, and formaldehyde, thereby 
ensuring that its finishes adhere to the stringent requirements of REACH regulations,
ZDHC MRSL V2.0, Oeko-Tex Standard 100, and ISO 9001:2015.
Mechanism of Superhydrophobic and Oleophobic Protection
The technology operates through the innovative assembly of a nanoscopic structure,
referred to as a ‘forest,’ on each fiber. This specialized coating effectively reduces 
surface energy and captures micro air pockets, thereby preventing liquids from 
permeating the textile. With a thickness of merely a few dozen nanometers, the 
coating preserves the original tactile quality, drape, and breathability of the substrate.
As a result, fabrics treated with this technology remain soft and comfortable, making 
them suitable for high-performance workwear, delicate silk garments, or luxurious 
sofa upholstery. Being odorless and colorless, this technology does not alter the 
original colors or textures of the materials, rendering it appropriate for premium 
applications that demand both aesthetic excellence and functional prowess.
Versatility Across Textile and Upholstery Materials
Vetro Power’s coatings demonstrate exceptional compatibility with a wide range of 
materials, effectively functioning on both natural fibers such as cotton, wool, and 
linen, as well as synthetic fibers including polyester, nylon, and spandex. 
Additionally, these coatings are suitable for specialty substrates, encompassing 
materials such as denim, leather, suede, and imitation leather. The versatility of 
these coatings extends to diverse applications, including technical textiles utilized for
geotextile installations, medical gowns, protective apparel, automotive interiors, 
footwear components, mesh bags, and high-end upholstery. The implementation of 
the nano coating for sofas, not only enhances the life expectancy of the fabric but 
also reduces maintenance downtime and associated costs across all applications.
Validated Performance Through Industry-Standard Testing
These nano treatments are supported by comprehensive testing, including AATCC 
193 and AATCC 22, which demonstrate a high level of hydrophobicity, as well as 
AATCC 118, which verifies oil repellency. Both coatings have shown the capacity to 
endure mechanical wear and resist UV degradation, as evidenced by tests for 
abrasion resistance conducted according to DIN EN ISO 12947-2 (5,000 cycles) and
artificial weathering trials in accordance with DIN EN ISO 4892-1 (550 hours of 
xenon-arc exposure). Additionally, the UNI CEN/TS 15968:2010 certification, which 
confirms the absence of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), along with adherence to 
global chemical safety standards, provides assurances to manufacturers and end 
users that no compromise is necessary regarding performance in relation to 
environmental or human health impacts.
Commitment to Environmental Sustainability
The profile of Vetro Power aligns with contemporary sustainability demands, 
particularly in terms of its eco-friendliness. By employing a fully water-based formula 
and eliminating volatile organic compounds (VOCs), these coatings contribute to 
reduced emissions and a lesser environmental impact. Furthermore, their versatility 
renders them suitable for sectors such as food service, healthcare, and childcare, 
where non-toxic and biocompatible materials are essential. 
Enhancing Product Performance Across Industries
 
Vetro Power enables manufacturers in the textile and upholstery industries to deliver 
a superior textile finish that sets their products apart through the incorporation of 
fabric nano protection. This innovative approach enhances the performance across 
various applications, including extending the lifespan of work uniforms subjected to 
rigorous use, improving the durability of sofa coverings in hospitality settings, and 
protecting sensitive medical linens. These advanced coatings provide measurable 
benefits via a combination of scientific innovation and a commitment to 
environmental sustainability. Vetro Power's next generation of nano coatings for 
textiles unlocks new opportunities for enhanced durability, comfort, and sustainability
within textile surfaces.
