Biomod’s President, Mrs. Karine Théberge, was recently nominated to the Vice President position of the emerging niche of excellence Chemistry and polymers associated with advanced flexible structures.
Recently, the Regional ACCORD Committee of the Monteregie identified the region’s strong potential in functional textiles and decided to launch a new niche of excellence under the ACCORD (Action concertée de coopération régionale de développement) program. The “Chemistry and polymers associated with advanced flexible structures” niche groups together business stakeholders and entrepreneurs in the textile industry of the Montérégie to develop a competitive regional production system on the North American and global marketplace.
Mrs. Théberge’s experience in the textile field will certainly be a powerful asset for the Committee. She is looking forward to help the Monteregian textile industry get back on its feet.

To meet the increasing demand for antimicrobial and scented textiles, Biomod decided to expend its current line of products and launch a new technology allowing different types of micro and nano capsules with functional properties to be impregnated to textiles.
Textile products enhanced by this new development now have the ability to diffuse progressively active ingredients for the benefits of the humans, animals or plants surrounding them. Its applications are endless and the active ingredients can be combined to generate multi-functional goods. Imagine for a moment that your carpet has antibacterial properties while releasing your favourite ambiance fragrance. Think about biodegradable geotextiles used in agriculture that could be treated with an insect repellent and an anti-fungal solution.
This unique technology is another extension of Biomod’s aspiration: generate wellbeing through textiles.
