14 DAY TRIAL // Imagine a T-shirt that is actually always clean, no soda stains, no wine or sweat marks, just completely stain free regardless of whatever you spill on it. Well, thanks to a new online funded project, this is actually a possibility.
A young entrepreneur, Aamir Patel, started a Kiskstarter campaign to fund his amazing project called Silic and released a presentation video showing the fabric's resistance to liquids. Water, soda, energy drinks, alcohol, red wine and many other things were poured on the T-shirt without leaving a mark.
The fabric is embedded with microscopic structures of silica that repel water-based liquids and form an air layer between the molecules, making the liquid to roll right down the shirt. Not only is it always clean but it is also fashionable as the creator teamed up with a former Vera Wang designer to make the T-shirts look awesome.
Patel already raised almost $60,000 (€44,000) on Kickstarter to fund his project and has been contacted by several companies interested in acquiring the invention.
Silic was compared to a similar product called NeverWet, a substance sprayed on clothes to reject liquids, the only difference is that Patel's invention isn't as dangerous as the last one proved to be, being free of cancerous-chemicals.
