Material Wealth: meet the high-tech textiles designed to make your day easier

All fabrics are not created equal. At NNT, we’re always searching for the ones that work harder than the rest to serve you better. From improved comfort and freshness to ease of care, the right material can completely elevate your workwear essentials. It’s why we love these two hard-working, safe and innovative advancements you’ll want to know about now. Whether you work in healthcare, Allied Health or beyond, these smart fabrics might just make all the difference to your day.

CoolPlus®

What it is:

This innovative fibre is designed to wick sweat away from the skin for a cooler, more comfortable feel. It offers a high level of breathability and improved moisture distribution, while remaining comfortable and easy to care for. It’s a little like your favourite sportswear fabric, designed for all-day duty.

Why you need it:

CoolPlus® is ideal for creating functional clothing that’s designed to go the distance. Advanced moisture-wicking properties and a proven cooling effect promote lasting comfort and maximum efficiency. As it’s also quick-drying and easy to clean, it’s a breeze to wash and wear even on the busiest days.

Where to find it:

Our CoolPlus® Classic Fit Polo for men or CoolPlus® Short Sleeve Polo for women is the piece your workwear wardrobe has been missing. Suited to a broad range of professional environments, these smart styles come in classic navy or black and are perfect for active roles when you need to feel as good as you look.

Polygiene®

What it is:

While not a fabric itself, this inbuilt anti-microbial technology is incorporated during the garment production process. Once applied, it works to inhibit the growth of bacteria and microbes while protecting against odour, offering lasting freshness.

Why you need it:

Because Polygiene® technology is integrated from the get-go, its benefits last for the lifetime of the garment, unlike other topical treatments. The result? Workwear that stays fresher, requires less frequent washing and is more hygienic – saving water, energy and time. Think of it as an invisible layer of protection you won’t even notice.

Where to find it:

Polygiene® technology is ideal for the healthcare industry, so we’ve incorporated it into our bestselling Next-Gen Antibacterial Active Scrubs as standard. You’ll also find it in our popular Vital Antibacterial Scrubs – offering improved freshness throughout the longest shift. Allied Health professionals will appreciate the Britt Jersey Antibacterial Short Sleeve Shirt for women or Coatsworth Jersey Antibacterial Short Sleeve Shirt for men, smartly cut from a soft cotton treated with Polygiene to deliver lasting protection.
