Ozone technology for enhanced textile care

Overview

Ozone technology offers a groundbreaking approach to textile care, enhancing durability and sustainability. By treating textiles with ozone, this method significantly increases tensile strength, reduces the release of microplastics, and minimizes pilling, all while maintaining the original softness and moisture management properties of fabrics. Unlike harsh chemical treatments, ozone refreshes textiles gently, preserving their natural qualities.

Technical specifications

• Enhanced tensile strength: Ozone treatment improves fiber bonding, leading to a 30% increase in tensile strength and resistance to wear after multiple wash cycles.
• Reduced pilling: The treatment decreases inter-fiber friction by 20%, thereby lowering pilling rates in cotton-polyester blends.
• Microplastic reduction: Textiles treated with ozone show a 40% reduction in microplastic release during washing.
• Preserved softness: Maintains the original softness and moisture management with less than 10% degradation over 15 wash cycles.

Technology readiness level

This ozone technology has achieved a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 5, indicating that it has been validated in relevant environments and is ready for further development and commercialization.
