The antibacterial without chemistry!
The new bacteriostatic masterbatch with physical-mechanical action PERMANENT.
Technology
Safe - Inorganic– NO chemistry
The uniqueness of this technology lies in the use of inorganic trace elements without including any nanoparticles and can make the treated material antibacterial by removing bacteria and limiting their development over time, forever. Relying upon its physical-based action, due to intramolecular bond in bulk and on the surface of the material, NOBA3 has the ability to make the contact environment inhospitable to bacterial growth, preventing unrestrained proliferation on the material containing it.
NOBA3 exploits the action of inorganic ingredients, without using any restricted biocide active substances.
The antibacterial activity is not driven by a chemical action, but a physical-mechanical mechanism, scientifically studied and proven!
NOBA3 technology is free from BPR regulation 528/12.

R&D Division – Chemical Innovation
Eco Ethical Company
The NOBA3® technology was developed within the R&D division of Falpe (Chemical Innovation), to provide bio and eco-compatible applications that respect both humans and the environment, in various application contexts, drawing inspiration directly from natural biological processes, to create eco-friendly technologies and smart materials.
Our Research and Development team specializes in materials science, specifically in polymer chemistry and physics, with the goal of finding effective and safe solutions to naturally combat bacteria and viruses, without including potentially toxic substances or using regulated biocidal active substances (BPR 528/12), while fully respecting human health and the environment.
Efficacy
Effectiveness of treatment:
microbiological tests
ISO20743:2013 compliant
“Textiles – Determination of antibacterial activity of textile products”
ISO 22196 
“Measurement of antibacterial activity in plastics and other non-porous surface”
The NOBA3® technology has the ability to make the contact environment inhospitable to the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, preventing unrestrained proliferation, for the entire operating life of the product. Bacteria will be hindered in their reproduction in a natural way, no longer finding fertile ground to reproduce.
