ALBUQUERQUE – US textile finishing specialist Green Theme Technologies (GTT) has added a PFC-free and water-free stain release treatment to its range of Empel-branded ‘sustainable’ solutions.
The new stain release technology was subjected to six-month trials tested at GTT’s lab to determine its efficacy against common stains such as red wine, ketchup and sun tan oil.
After successful findings, vice president Martin Flora commented: “The purpose of the Empel stain release is to extend the usable lifecycle of any fabric treated, to reduce the amount of energy needed to launder fabrics, and to protect the fabric from common deep penetrating stains that typically ruin the appearance of furniture, upholstery and apparel.”
