What would the perfect fabric look like? Stains that disappear by themselves, odors that do not stick, liquids that are repelled as if by magic. Such a fabric exists. It is intelligent, it is self-cleaning and it has been created by Atenzza, a 100% Spanish company, specialized in fabric innovation.
There has always been a need for upholstery, curtains and sunshades that look as good as new, and whose maintenance requires minimum effort. Atenzza responded to this call, knowing that this is not only about aesthetics, but also about revolutionizing everyday life and redefining sustainability in the textile world.
Thus was born a smart fabric that cleans itself by simply exposing it to sunlight. In just hours it erases organic stains, wine, tomato, chocolate, strawberry… It is also anti-bacterial, anti-mold and eliminates odors. And if the stain is not organic, just wipe with a damp cloth to make it disappear.
What is behind this self-cleaning fabric? ECOPLEN technology that works at the molecular level. It is a polyester fabric, soft to the touch and water repellent. The main key is that it is coated with TiO2 nanoparticles, which upon contact with UV rays:
- Break down organic stains into harmless substances.
- They break down the cell membranes of bacteria and fungi.
- Disintegrate the particles responsible for bad odors.
- They purify the air around them.
All this happens while the smart fabric retains its texture, color and overall appearance. Since it does not need to be washed, it also saves water and energy.
It is a development that positions ECOPLEN technology as a benchmark for a new generation of smart and sustainable textiles. It is a development that reaffirms the historic textile tradition of Valencia in Spain and definitely revolutionizes the world.
At TECNIMUSA we applaud all innovation in the textile sector. That’s what we do.
