C6 Tech

What is C6 Technology?

C6 Technology is a revolutionary technology that may be applied to almost any textile to protect it from daily occurrences, but at the same time retain the integrity of the fabric and continue to have a comfortable and breathable fit. The daily occurrences protected against include stains, water, odors, sunlight and wrinkles.

How does C6 Technology work?

C6 Technology is a nano-level based technology that encapsulates each fiber of a textile individually to protect the fibers themselves. The fibers are so close to each other that they create a barrier creating a wall that protects against the unexpected.

Attributes include:

•Repels Stains

C6 Technology is most famous for repelling those unwanted stains.

•Repels Water/Liquids

C6 Technology works best against liquids creating the appearance of water just rolling off like it does on glass.

•Repels odors

Due to its stain repelling technology C6 Technology also protects against odors that are brought on by stains in the shirt.

•Wrinkle resistant

Wrinkles are a nuisance and unwanted, so we took those out.

•Fade resistant

The encapsulation of each fiber protects against the wear and tear that stains, water and even sunlight may cause it helping to keep the colors bright and looking the same as the day you bought it.

How does clothing treated with C6 Technology benefit me?

No one likes to have to replace their favorite shirt or tie just because of a little stain or because it’s starting to fade and change to an unwanted color. C6 Technology helps protect your investment in clothing and keep you looking good in all circumstances. Another added benefit is that clothing treated with C6 Technology use less water and takes less time to dry saving you on utility bills.

Waterproof vs. Water Resistant

There is often confusion about products that have a label of “Waterproof” or “Water Resistant.” Most people think they are one in the same, when they are actually two very different things. Here is our break down in casual terms.

Waterproof – When a company says this they are saying “Water CANNOT penetrate the textile.” It’s Proof, just like something being fireproof. These tend to be items that are cases or something like that, like a waterproof camera. The object inside is completely sealed making that item now waterproof. In clothing, these items, if offered, tend to be the really stiff clothing or kinds that make a lot of noise when you walk. They would have to be of course because you are completely sealing the fabric so no water can get in.

One sentence summary – Water CANNOT penetrate.

Water Resistant – When a company says this they are saying “Water SHOULDN’T get in here.” A good example is when you are on a diet and you are resisting, let’s say…cake. You are trying not to get cake, so it’s best to avoid it. However, if you come near it, you may get a little “in” you. Now, back to clothing or average items with the title of water resistant, you don’t have to avoid water. However, water resistant means that if you drop it in a pool, it WILL get wet and it will probably get ruined if it’s electronic. Why use this? Well, most days you aren’t risking dropping something into a pool. So for every day clothing, this is perfect. It helps against everyday stains and small amounts of water. Since this technology don’t seal your fabric, it tends to be more comfortable and a more breathable fabric.

One sentence summary – Protects against a cup of water, not a pool.

Why do we say our products are Water Repellant? Is that different?
Water repellant is closer to being water resistant. If you jump in a pool, you will get wet. The main difference is that we are serious when we say it repels water and stains. The C-6 technology we use literally protects the fabric and works with it to create a blockade. You can see the water bead up and away from the fabric on contact. This protection keeps the fabric soft as if it wasn’t treated at all, making our clothing very comfortable for all occasions.
One sentence summary – Water repellant is a step up from being water resistant.
