This technology works by forming a thin, invisible layer that stops microbes from sticking to the fabric. The molecular-level operation seamlessly integrates with the textile without altering its properties or appearance. What sets Nordshield apart is its use of renewable wood based ingredients.
We offer the NordShield-treatment for selected textiles and colours, making it ideal for places like hospitals and care facilities where hygiene is crucial. NordShield-treated textiles are also great for offices and schools, as they help control bacteria.
