Polyspin has launched Nano 5 at DyeChem World Expo being organised concurrently with Bharat Tex 2025, an antimicrobial silver-based treatment for textiles in India. The company plans to expand the product’s reach throughout the country using its existing distribution network. Nano 5 is designed to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and provide long-lasting protection against microbial growth even with regular use or washing. The product is eco-friendly, non-toxic, and safe for humans. Nano 5 is versatile and can be used in textiles, medical devices, and other surfaces requiring antimicrobial protection.
Polyspin’s CMD, Sandeep Arora, believes that the future of Nano 5 is promising, especially in light of the recent pandemic, as it offers protection against various germs, viruses, and bacteria. While the Indian market is still nascent and customers may not be fully aware of the benefits of antimicrobial products, Polyspin is committed to educating them.
Dr Anil Kumar Jain, who has extensive experience in textile chemistry and research, played a key role in the development of Nano 5. He highlights the product’s unique particle size, which is less than 5 nanometers, as a key factor in its effectiveness and durability. The smaller particle size increases the surface area, leading to higher reactivity, lower consumption, and improved washability.
Nano 5 works by releasing silver ions that bind to the OH group of the fabric, forming a strong bond that is resistant to washing. The silver ions effectively kill bacteria by breaking their membranes and neutralizing unpleasant odors caused by bacterial growth. The product is said to be economical and comparable in price to other suppliers in India, with superior performance due to its nanoparticle size.
Nano 5 has already been exported to the Hirdaramani industry in Sri Lanka during the Covid-19 pandemic, where it was used on denim and received positive feedback. Polyspin has global aspirations for Nano 5 and is looking to expand its market reach
