Footwear for everyday life: we provide antimicrobial and odor-fighting properties for improved hygiene, durability, and a unique selling point
Having TNS Nano in your product means:
How does TNS Nano technology work?
Antimicrobial solutions are incorporated directly into the surfaces. Upon contact with microorganisms, the technology continuously inhibits their growth and spread, without the need for reapplication after each wash or use.
What is the antimicrobial solution?
An antimicrobial solution is a technology applied to the surface of a material to help inhibit the growth of viruses, bacteria, and fungi on that surface. Incorporated during the manufacturing process, it works continuously, helping to keep the product more hygienic and in better condition throughout its use.

Frequently Asked Questions
The antimicrobial agent ensures better preservation throughout manufacturing, storage, and distribution; provides greater microbiological control in shoe components; and enhances comfort during use, reducing the impact of unpleasant odors in everyday life.
The technology is incorporated into the material during the component’s manufacturing process. In everyday use, when bacteria or fungi come into contact with the treated material, the TNS Nano solution reduces their proliferation, helping to preserve the product and keep the footwear more hygienic and functional over time.
The solution can be applied to all components of the shoe, such as textile uppers, lining, insoles, synthetic laminates and sole.
Yes. The antimicrobial solution helps preserve footwear throughout manufacturing, storage, and distribution, reducing losses associated with mold growth and odor development under logistics conditions.
Yes. In footwear, the most noticeable benefit is usually the control of odor-causing bacteria, especially in areas such as lining and insoles, which experience frequent contact, heat, and moisture. This contributes to greater freshness, comfort, and well-being throughout use.
No. It complements the product’s care routine, but does not replace cleaning, sanitizing, or maintenance. The benefit lies in keeping the surface of the shoe free from microbial growth and ensuring better preservation between uses, thereby reducing the frequency of washing the shoes.
No. The TNS Nano is designed to add functionality without compromising comfort, structure, lightness, feel, or design of the product. The footwear retains its aesthetic and performance appeal, now with a built-in technical advantage.
The key references highlighted for this market are AATCC 100, AATCC 147, ISO 17299 and ABNT 15275. AATCC 100 quantitatively measures bacterial reduction; AATCC 147 qualitatively demonstrates antimicrobial activity; ISO 17299 evaluates odor-resistant properties in textile materials; and ABNT 15275 is particularly relevant to the footwear industry because it addresses the resistance of insoles, synthetic laminates, fabrics, and soles to microbial attack (such as Aspergillus niger and bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa)
TNS Nano tailors the solution to the process you already use—whether for textile components, synthetic laminates, or polymer parts—without adding a new production step. The focus is on formulation, parameters, and validation, not on overhauling the production line.
Yes. TNS Nano products comply with international standards such as the annual RSL of the AFIRM Group, the RSL from Nike and the ZDHC MRSL (Manufacturing Restricted Substances List).
In addition to developing and validating the solution, TNS Nano helps design marketing campaigns and strategies to turn the technology into a brand differentiator.
