Logo_ActivoTex_RActivoTex® is INNOVATEC’s research product group covering high performance, smart textiles and nanofinishings.

We offer innovative solutions adding new functionalities and a greater added value to textiles.

ActivoTex® technology enables the application of an active agent to a traditional textile material, giving it unique properties. We work with all textile materials, enhancing clothing, bedding, upholstery, tarpaulins and lingerie with new properties that will react to the user’s stimuli. Such textiles find uses in many applications ranging from military and security to personalised healthcare, hygiene and entertainment.

We also offer innovative solutions to other sectors such as toys, footwear, furniture, or any other industrial areas where functional nanofinishings can be applied.

This nanotechnology achieves the following:

RETENTION OF PROPERTIES: The active component integrated into textiles is protected for longer, remaining intact until it is released. Other conventional methods of adding various properties to fabrics may not last and will be exposed to constant changes.

CONTROLLED RELEASE and DURABILITY: the controlled release of such active ingredients is guaranteed, handling accurately the variables of intensity and time.

FASTNESS TO WASHING: the anchoring on textiles and other porous surfaces ensures the durability of the active ingredients and aromas, even when subjected to domestic or industrial washings. This washing durability will depend on the method of application, composition and the introduction of a binder on the coating, according to the end user’s needs.

PRODUCT FUNCTIONALITY: this technology allows the traditional functionality of textiles to be extended, adding “intelligence” to textiles and creating new smart, competitive products with great benefits.
