“Nano-Pel™ fabric protection makes it possible for Burlington House mattress fabrics to offer superior liquid and stain repellency while providing maximum comfort in a breathable and durable fabric...the Nano-Pel™ process allows liquids to bead and roll off. By attaching “nano-whiskers” (1/1000th the size of a human hair) to the individual fibers of the fabric, liquids and oils will sit on top of the whiskers and will not penetrate into the fabric.”

"Marking the first application of Nano-Tex's patented technology to sewngarments rather than fabric, Martelli, based in Italy, will utilize the NANO-PEL(TM) technology for use on cotton and cotton blend apparel treated andfinished in Europe for distribution to branded customers worldwide. Denimapparel will be the first product enhanced with the NANO-PEL technology withplans for other products in the future."
