NanoSphere partners rise to 47
Schoeller Technologies AG and Clariant International Ltd agreed to join forces in producing and marketing NanoSphere finishing technology around a year ago and, according to the two firms, the year has been a successful one.
The number of partners they have has risen from 12 at the start to 47. It now has deals in China, Germany, France, India, Italy, Columbia, Mexico, Switzerland, Spain, Taiwan and Turkey and the USA.
Schoeller Technologies AG is the patent holder and is responsible for branding and marketing, while Clariant is responsible for production, global sales and quality assurance.
Back in May, the NanoSphere formula was adjusted so that, in addition to offering a self-cleaning effect, oil and water repellence, abrasion resistance and washing permanence, it is now free of PFOA and PFOS.
