 Pollen

 It is estimated that approximately

15 - 20 % of the world population suffer
from hay fever. Also it seems increasing.

 Pollen dispersal
- Pollen dispersal is strongly affected by
the previous summer climate.
- The number of pollen increases when
the summer is hotter, or sunshine is
stronger.

 POLLEN

Pollen is a very fine powder

released by trees, weeds and
grasses, which can cause
severe pollen allergic reactions.

 Countermeasures against hay fever

• Medical care by doctor

• Self care
- Not bring pollen into house

- Brush off pollen, wash / laundry

- Clean sofa, curtains

As everybody knows, this itself is not very effective !

 The product

•TANATEX offers a product to help

minimizing the effects of pollen.

•BAYPROTECT® NANO-POLLEN
•or in other words:
•BAYPROTECT® NANO-POLLEN

• BAYPROTECT® NANO-POLLEN is our newest finishing product,
based on a nano-dispersion polysiloxane derivative.
• A nano-dispersion, like BAYPROTECT ® NANO-POLLEN, will
penetrate deeper into the fabric and adheres to the fibres. This will
give unique properties to the fibres.
• Due to the presence of BAYPROTECT ® NANO-POLLEN, the pollen
cannot bind onto the fibres. The pollen will only lightly adhere to
the fibres but can easily be removed by simple mechanical
movements.
• The unique properties of the BAYPROTECT ® NANO-POLLEN allow
an easy removal of the pollen, e.g. before entering the house. This
will prevent the pollution of the living-environment and will
ultimately lead to a reduction of pollen-heath problems like hay
fever.
