C6 Technology by Skankeywear is Better Than Ever

C6 Technology is an innovative process that protects your clothing even in the most inconvenient of circumstances.

Skankeywear®-Beaverton, Oregon. C6 Technology® is an innovative technology that can be applied to any fabric before or after production. Being able to apply this treatment to a finished product opens new doors and capabilities for the fabric product that is treated. Now embroideries, screen printed products, seams and thread will be included in the treatment, making them stain and water resistant as well. This process can be applied to most fabrics making many more possibilities for the product. From jeans, to knitted shirts, to woven shirts: almost anything can be treated.

C6 Technology® uses a C6 carbon chain rather than a C8 carbon chain like most of its competitors. C8 carbon chains are full of Perfluorooctanoic acids(PFOA), a man-made chemical which does not occur naturally in the environment. Recently scientists have found great apprehension as levels of PFOA have been commonly found in many humans across the world and concerns abound about how exposure to PFOA could affect people’s health. Unlike C8, a C6 Carbon chain does not contain PFOA, which makes our C6 Technology environmentally safe.

This new process is a step ahead of the rest in protecting the products that are sold. C6 Technology® makes the product stain, water, odor, wrinkle and fade resistant, but a new attribute that has yet to be mentioned is the breathability that the products retain. With this new treatment process, the product can have long life treatment of over 55 washes and keep a desired hand (or feel) of the fabric as though it had never been treated with any process.

C6 Technology® does not make the products water or stain proof, only water and stain resistant. This means that if any dirt or grease has accumulated, it will stay on the surface. Washing of these garments is made easier and faster. It alleviates stress of buying high end detergents or pretreatments. The dirt is simply cleaned right off the surface and leaves C6 Technology® on the garment ready to again resist water and stains. This also cuts down on the time in the dryer, which helps save your energy bill.

Skankeywear® and NW Allen® are two lines of clothing that use C6 Technology®. Making the comforts of a wrinkle and stain resistant lifestyle more attainable to the average consumer. Purchasing clothing with C6 Technology® treatments helps save you money on your water and energy bill with washings and drying. C6 Technology® is here to save your wallet as well as your time.

Behind our Great Minds

"I am fascinated by people who's names stand out in history for positive reasons.  I believe these kind of people are no different than you and me.  The legacy left by people like Gandhi is the ideas and ideals they represent.  To truly represent the ideas and ideals you believe in is a harder task than most are willing to take on.  Some even shy away from defining what they truly believe.  They are afraid to "think" too much about it.  I have been inspired to find the truth and to try and represent in every step I take.  For perhaps someday I can make a difference and inspire someone else to do the same. And it all starts with how we think."

Quote from Andrew Little, who is a very inspiring Artist who happens to be the Great Mind behind Skankeywear's line of Great Minds Think and also our Paisley design. We are thrilled to be working with such a talented designer.
