Soft coating

Nanobionic technology is a soft coating comprised of a blend of minerals, that is applied to any type of fabric, developed to increase energy, everyday performance, and enhance wellness for better recovery. When Nanobionic technology comes in close proximity with the human body, the minerals are activated with body heat, and they begin emitting Infrared IR rays back to the body. This helps the body to rejuvenate, increases general wellness, and promote restful sleep.

Nanobionic technology has been validated through several independent (published) scientific studies, that have proven a variety of performance, sleep and wellness benefits. According to the company, the FDA has determined that Nanobionic products are medical devices, as defined in section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and are also General Wellness products.

Nanobionic has also been named by NASA iTech as a top 10 finalist and as one of the companies that could impact space exploration. The company’s technology can be applied to a variety of industries, including but not limited to apparel, footwear, socks, bedding, mattresses, furniture, car seats, orthopaedics, military and space wear, etc. Nanobionic technology has received 13 international awards for innovation and is the next generation in bio- functional textiles, according to the company, combining science, technology and nature to enhance life.
