Fibers containing GranovaQ® have the five functions below, as marketed in Japan. How strongly each one shows depends on the application and the formulation. Please contact us for details.
01 / Functions
Five functions, as marketed in Japan.
Properties of the treated material itself.
01 · Antibacterial
Antibacterial and odor-resistant
Inhibits the growth of specific bacteria on the fiber, helping to prevent odor.
02 · Antiviral
Antiviral
Reduces specific viruses that adhere to the fiber.
03 · Anti-mite
Anti-mite
Helps keep dust mites away.
04 · Anti-mold
Anti-mold
Helps prevent mold from growing on the fiber surface.
05 · Far infrared
Far-infrared emission
Emits far-infrared radiation.
The functions above describe the material itself, as marketed in Japan. They are not claims that any product protects people from bacteria, viruses or disease. Claims that may be made for products sold outside Japan depend on local regulations (for example, the U.S. EPA and the EU Biocidal Products Regulation). Please consult us for each market.
02 / The material
Bound in. Metal-free.
Bound in, so it lasts.
GQD is kneaded into the fiber rather than coated on the surface. Compared with organic finishes, the effect is more resistant to washing.
No metals used.
Unlike metal-based finishes, there is no metal to leach out. GQD stays bound in the material, and the effect is long-lasting.
Made by a physical process.
Our graphene quantum dots are made by a physical process, without strong acids or other chemicals.
