FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to our comprehensive FAQ on fabric protection with Pure Tech! We get a lot of questions about how our innovative nanocoating solutions can keep your furniture, carpets, and other textiles looking pristine. Below, we dive deep into some of your most common inquiries.
1. Are treatments facilitated on-site or can they be done prior to furniture installation?
The process is smoother prior to installation at a warehouse receiver or showroom. However, we are more than happy to accommodate treatment day of installation or post-installation at the client’s home. We want to make it as convenient as possible for you!
2. What is the dry time?
Our Pure Tech Textile Protect Nanocoating has a boiling point of approximately 100 °C. While the exact dry time can vary depending on environmental factors like humidity and ventilation, the application methods generally involve spraying or dipping. For best results, allow adequate time for the treated fabric to dry completely before heavy use.
3. How long does the Stain protectant last?
Our coatings are designed for long-lasting durability. For carpet applications, typical durability is up to 5 years in residential and commercial environments, though this can depend on traffic and cleaning cycles. The nanocoating provides long-lasting protection without altering the feel, flexibility, or optical properties of the fabric.
4. What materials is it safe on? Does it change the look or feel of the textile?
Our Pure Tech Textile Protect Nanocoating is safe for a wide range of materials, including cotton, wool, polyester, polyamide, viscose, silk, and blended fabrics. It’s also compatible with both synthetic and natural fiber carpets. A key benefit of our textile nanocoating is that it provides high-performance water- and dirt-repellent properties while maintaining the visual and tactile characteristics of the treated fabric. The measured color variation between coated and uncoated samples is within ±0.2, which is imperceptible to the human eye. This confirms that the coating does not produce any visible change in the textile’s original color.
5. Is there a warranty?
We offer a Service Guarantee. If, within the first year, a stain cannot be removed using our recommended product(s) and process, we will refund the cost of treatment 100%. Some exclusions apply, such as pet or certain dye-related circumstances.
6. What other Nano-Coatings do you offer?
Beyond textiles, we offer a wide variety of nanocoating solutions. These include protectors for porous stone, natural wood (including termite prevention and fire-retardant properties), carpets and rugs, auto glass, metal and stainless steel, and anti-corrosion protection for industrial metals. We also have nanocoatings for footwear, solar panels, home glass, and helmet visors, as well as a suede and nubuck protector.
7. Is your product good for outdoor furniture or performance fabric? What added benefit is there in treating these particular fabrics?
Yes, our product is excellent for outdoor furniture and performance fabrics! Our textile and carpet protection coatings are designed to provide long-lasting protection against stains, soiling, and liquid penetration. For outdoor use, this means enhanced resistance to environmental damage and wear and tear. The added benefit is that even performance fabrics gain an extra layer of defense against spills, stains, and dirt, extending their lifespan and making them easier to maintain, even in high-use outdoor environments.
8. Is there UV protection?
Yes, our VP Fabric & Upholstery Protector offers UV protection. This helps to prevent fading and damage caused by sun exposure, extending the life and maintaining the vibrant color of your treated fabrics.
9. Do you protect window treatments?
Yes! We recommend treating the first four feet (from the ground). This is to protect against pets and “little hands” – children love to run and wave their hands through the fabric!
10. Do you treat wall-to-wall carpet and stairs?
YES! Stairs in particular are high-traffic areas. With wall-to-wall carpet, we pay special attention to heavy walk areas to ensure comprehensive protection against spills, stains, and dirt. This helps to make carpets and rugs easier to maintain.
11. Do you offer additional cleaning services?
Yes! We offer both rug cleaning and upholstery cleaning. Our technicians are specially trained in treating items both treated and untreated!
12. When is the best time to treat my fabrics?
The best time to treat your fabrics is when they are new or immediately after being professionally cleaned. This ensures the fabric is free from existing dirt, grease, and residues of cleaning agents, allowing the nanocoating to form a strong bond with each individual fiber.
13. Is it okay to treat once cleaned and fabric is still wet?
Yes, our product is safe, and even recommended, to treat “wet-on-wet”. For manual spraying, surfaces should be sprayed at least twice (wet-on-wet).
14. How does the product work? What is "Nano-Tech"?
Our Pure Tech Textile Coating forms a microscopically thin, invisible protective layer around each individual fiber. This “nano-tech” creates a barrier that makes the fabric water-, oil-, and soil-repellent. It’s designed to protect against stains, soiling, and liquid penetration, allowing spills to bead up on the surface rather than being absorbed.
15. What is the Cure Period?
While the immediate dry time allows for light use, the full cure period for our nanocoating can vary. It’s best to allow the treated fabric to fully cure for optimal and long-lasting protection. We can provide specific recommendations based on the fabric type and environmental conditions during application.
16. Why are your prices higher than some of your competitors?
Our pricing reflects the superior quality, long-lasting performance, and advanced formulation of our nanocoatings. Our products are water-based, non-toxic, and free from PFAS and other harmful fluorochemicals. We are India’s largest manufacturer of Nanocoatings, with a globally distributed brand with a strong presence across more than 80 countries. Our product is supported by key certifications and compliances, including REACH Compliance (EU), RoHS Compliance, ISO 9001:2015 Certified Manufacturing, dermatologically tested, and a non-flammable and biodegradable formulation. These qualifications ensure that you receive a high-performance, eco-friendly, and reliable solution that provides durable protection and preserves the original depth, richness, and intensity of your fabric’s color. This translates to a longer lifespan for your treated items and ultimately, a better return on your investment.
17. Do you treat wall coverings?
Yes, we treat wall coverings! We even protect fabric ceilings!
18. Do you treat the whole fabric roll?
No, we only treat the finished piece, not the whole fabric roll. The roll would waste so much and not be cost-effective. Our application focuses on the areas that need protection on the final product.
19. Does your Product contain Silicone?
No, our product does not contain silicone. Silicone will “yellow” whites. Silicone is petroleum-based and petroleum actually attracts other grease, oils, and grime. Our product creates a barrier that repels.
20. Does the application have a smell? Like chemicals or alcohols I have experienced with other products?
No! Our product is odorless! It is formulated to be non-toxic and has an odorless, so you won’t experience any harsh chemical or alcohol smells that are common with other products.
