It is a super antibacterial technology cultivated in the medical field, to suppress the bacterial growth in cloth fiber. Nanofine (R) treatmented fabric is very effective against bacteria and at the same time gentle to skin.
The main ingredient of "Nanofine" is "Zinc Oxide". The ultrafine zinc oxide is fixed to fiber and generate hydrogen peroxide.
When bacteria come into contact with this hydrogen peroxide, the cell membrane is destroyed and respiratory inhibition occurs.
Products processed with "Nanofine" perform self-cleaning against bacteria on the fibers, creating an environment where bacteria cannot survive.
"Zinc Oxide" which is approved as a food additive by FDA (US Food and Drug Administration). It is commonly found in baby powder and cosmetics.
