description Schoeller Nanosphere Overview

Schoeller NanoSphere is a textile finishing technology developed by the Swiss company Schoeller Textil AG that provides water, dirt, and oil repellency. The treatment works by applying nanoparticles to the fabric surface, creating a self-cleaning effect modeled on the structure of a lotus leaf. Unlike traditional durable water repellent (DWR) coatings, NanoSphere is formulated without the use of fluorocarbons (PFAS). It is designed for use in performance apparel, workwear, and outdoor gear.

help Schoeller Nanosphere FAQ

What is Schoeller NanoSphere used for?

Schoeller NanoSphere is a textile finishing technology that helps fabric repel water, dirt, and oil. It is designed to keep the surface cleaner and reduce the absorption of everyday stains.

Is NanoSphere a waterproof membrane like Gore-Tex?

No, NanoSphere is a surface finish rather than a standalone waterproof membrane. Gore-Tex is primarily associated with waterproof-breathable membrane construction, while NanoSphere improves water and dirt repellency at the fabric surface.

How does the NanoSphere self-cleaning effect work?

The finish applies nanoparticles to the textile surface, creating a texture modeled on the water-shedding structure of a lotus leaf. Water and particles are more likely to bead and roll away instead of spreading into the fabric.

What fabrics can use Schoeller NanoSphere?

NanoSphere is a finishing treatment developed by the Swiss company Schoeller Textil AG, so it can be applied to suitable textile constructions rather than functioning as a separate material. The exact performance depends on the underlying fabric and the manufacturer's care instructions.
