KINGS MOUNTAIN, N.C. – Nanotex®, a Crypton company and leading fabric innovator providing nanotechnology-based textile enhancements to the apparel, home and commercial/residential interiors markets, announced along with Strategic Partners, Inc. (SPI), the launch of scrubs and lab coats with CERTAINTY PLUSTM featuring antimicrobial fabric technology and Nanotex® Resists Spills.
SPI is a leader in the design and manufacturing of medical apparel, lab wear, footwear and accessories.
The combined technologies are available in durable, breathable, soft, comfortable and fashionable Code Happy® scrubs, and Cherokee®, Dickies® and Code Happy lab coats.
Nanotex Resists Spills provides the fluid barrier technology in CERTAINTY PLUS, causing many fluids to bead up and roll off the apparel. Nanotex utilizes nanotechnology by which molecules permanently attach to fibers without clogging the fabric weave or compromising the look, feel or comfort of the fabric. CERTAINTY PLUS includes CERTAINTY® antimicrobial fabric technology that provides long-lasting freshness against odor-causing and fabric-degrading bacteria on the fabric.
“Nanotex understands how important a fluid barrier is to the medical professional community, and is proud that our Resists Spills technology has contributed to the development of this feature in the leading healthcare apparel brands,” said Randy Rubin, chairman of Crypton. “By working at the nano-scale, our textile enhancements provide amazing functional improvements without changing the natural characteristics of the fabric, like hand and drape.”
Medical apparel exclusively with CERTAINTY antimicrobial fabric technology debuted in March and is now featured in Cherokee, Dickies, Code Happy and HeartSoul medical uniforms. Although garments featuring antimicrobial technology don't protect users or others against bacteria, viruses or other disease organisms, apparel with CERTAINTY and CERTAINTY PLUS does reduce, inhibit and minimize the growth of odor-causing and fabric-degrading bacteria on the fabric, helping enhance the life of the garment and keep wearers odor free throughout their shift.
Code Happy scrubs with CERTAINTY and CERTAINTY PLUS offer a wide spectrum of colors plus contemporary styling for men and women.

The brand has more than 100 manufacturer partners worldwide, including not only in branded apparel and outdoor gear, but home textiles and contract and residential interiors markets as well.
