Today I had to buy a toilet plunger ....... and while at the store
I happen to pass by an ironing board cover made by NANO-Tex.
(with nano crap in it)
To make a long story short, I came home and looked up that NANO-Tex company and found much other stuff:
It's worth reading the whole article and all the various companies and Countries that are doing this to us.
www.textileworld.com/Articles/2003/April/Dyeing_Printing_Finishing/Looking_Good_Feeling_Great.html
This Textile WORLD dot com article was from 2003, who knows how much longer they have been adding stuff to our clothing, furnishing, car seats, etc.
"modified chemistries" from traditional textile finishes?? What the hec is that?
Modified food, Modified clothes, Modified EARTH
Does the Tulsa Police Department have all this NEW Modified textile technology in it's data base? Are fibers coming out cuz they went in and our body knows it is not "us" and tries to discard it? Who can predict what can happen with all this new technology?
Fluorescent is added too!!!! and of with all these NEW DYES could that be the reason it doesn't "fade".
whatever!
I will say that since I wear "OLD" manufactured clothes ---- I don't have a fiber problem anymore.
Also, wearing the "NEW" clothes will get those chemicals into your skin! We KNOW chemicals can make us sick and have allergic reactions/rashes.
One of the products on that link even has a "BUILT IN" dust mite fighter!
Some excerpts from web site to follow:
Nano-Tex says its modified chemistries are different from traditional textile finishes because they work at the nano, or sub-micron, scale, and are revolutionary in their ability to attach to fibers and permanently bond to fabric at the molecular level.
This ability "is so flexible, it opens the door to opportunities for the development of new, never-before-seen performance properties," said Renee Hultin, president, North America.
Products currently available from Nano-Tex are: NANO-CARE® for stain resistance and liquid repellency on cotton; NANO-PEL™ for fabric that breathes, yet remains liquid- and stain-repellent; NANO-DRY® for enhanced fabrics able to move perspiration away from the body, while drying quickly; and NANO-TOUCH™, which gives man-made fabrics the feel and comfort of natural fabrics. Another product designed to capture body odor, NANO-FRESH™, is in the works.
Nano-Tex says its products are flexible and can be applied in combination with an existing finishing process, or as a stand-alone step. No special application process, machinery or equipment is necessary.
Germany-based DyStar is continually developing and introducing new dyes to the marketplace. One development of note is its Remazol Fluorescent Yellow FL dye. DyStar claims it is the first dye with fluorescent properties available to designers and textile manufacturers. In addition to fashion applications, the dye also meets the standards for high-visibility workwear, so it may be used for safety-related applications.
Other recent developments at DyStar include: Imperon HF high-fast pigment preparations; Dianix AM-SLR disperse dyes for the automotive sector that meet lightfastness requirements; and Dianix PLUS disperse dyes for modern microfiber applications.
Drimarene HF dyes for cellulosic fibers are a new type of high-fixation fiber-reactive dye based on new chemistry patented by Switzerland-based Clariant.
"The Drimarene HF range has been received well by the dyeing professional faced with colorant effluent discharge restrictions or shade reproducibility problems," said Bryan Dill, senior technical representative. "The high fixation values that make these dyes so attractive are a product of this new chemical development."
