Durable Water Repellency

by Wim Neels

How can we assist the textile industry in the transition from a PFAS product to a PFAS-free product?

The continued shift to non-fluorinated chemistries will provide tailwinds to introduce new PFAS-free products.
ECHA restrictions will force apparel brands to complete the transition to PFC-free offerings latest by Q3/2025 (except essential use).

For who interesting to follow the business pitch
Fashion, sports and outdoor industry professionals, retail buyers and purchase managers, eco-conscious end-consumers.
