Zenus tightly controls the entire production process from its birth to the finished product using only the finest in materials. Zenus has eliminated the use of anti-microbials, PFOA/ PFOS, and other harmful chemicals to create an environmentally conscious textile.
Indoor Air Quality – Low VOC
Zenus fabric meets the stringent California Section 01350 Emissions Standard for safer indoor air quality. It meets the VOC requirements for use in classroom and office environments as defined in the CA DHS Standard Practice.

Oeko-Tex Standard 100
Zenus fabric meets the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 , the ultimate international benchmark for the safety of the environment and its people. It tests for substances which are prohibited or regulated by law, chemicals which are known to be harmful to health, and parameters which are included as a precautionary measure to safeguard health.
PFOA / PFOS – Free
Zenus is free of any PFOA (C8), which has been identified by the EPA as “likely to be carcinogenic” and has been linked to serious health problems.
Anti-Microbial / Biocide Chemicals – Free
Zenus is inherently anti-bacterial (AATCC-100). No biocide or anti-microbial chemical was added to Zenus for healthy environment.
Clean Naturally
Zenus fabrics can be cleaned with just a towel and water, the most sustainable method in cleaning. No harmful chemicals or cleaners are needed.
Permanent Protection
Zenus protects textiles from stains, moisture and abrasion, increasing the lifecycle of the fabric. The multiple layers of skin is an inherent element of the textile that lasts the lifetime of the fabric.
