German researchers say a fluorine-free textile finish repels both water and oil, though its durability and performance against some oils remain unproven
CHEMNITZ – Researchers in Germany claim to have developed a fluorine-free textile-finishing system designed to provide both water and oil repellency without fluorinated polymers or low-molecular-weight PFAS.
The claim is unusual because many PFAS-alternative treatments provide some degree of hydrophobicity but cannot repel oil-based stains.
