Sciessent, a global leader in antimicrobial, anti-odour, anti-pilling and water repellent technologies, announced NOBO anti-odour technology as the newest addition to the company’s product portfolio. Specifically formulated to reduce odour in natural and synthetic fabrics, NOBO adsorbs compounds responsible for body odour without the use of an antimicrobial.
The technology harnesses the power of benign, non-biocidal, highly porous minerals. The complex structure creates a high, active surface area that bonds with odour compounds, readily adsorbing them into the porous surface. Once adsorbed, the odours are washed away in the laundry and the receptor sites regenerate – ready to adsorb new odours, Sciessent said in a media release.
“NOBO is a major addition to our product portfolio,” said Sciessent CEO, Paul C Ford. “This technology perfectly encapsulates our continued commitment to innovation and sustainability by giving brands an inexpensive way to enhance and add value to their products, while reducing the laundering frequency for consumers. In addition, NOBO does not require any biocidal registrations, so it will be the perfect odour control solution for wherever brands sell their products.”

Applied via pad or spray applications, NOBO can be incorporated into virtually any fabric and is ideal for daily-use garments. It is effective on recycled polyester, as well as on synthetic cellulosic fibres.
Sciessent’s Agion, Lava X2, Agion Active X2, Pilltec, and now NOBO products are all Bluesign approved and listed on the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) Foundation ZDHC Gateway, complying with ZDHC Level 3 requirements.
