It only takes one splash from a colorful condiment to completely ruin an outfit but Heinz wants to help people eat without fear and it is providing a solution to this issue with the Unstainable Thobe. Created in collaboration with advertising agency Wunderman Thompson Dubai, this traditional robe integrates a high-protective barrier to repel stains. Specifically, Heinz implemented a protective coating formed by nanotechnology so that the garment's fibers will remain unaltered by mishaps.
In fact, the water-resistant material is made up of millions of silicone nano-filaments so that the garment can actually be soaked in a tub full of water and still come out dry. As such, in the case of a ketchup spill, only a damp cloth is needed to keep the white robe looking pristine.
