- Title
Wasserabweisende Fasern ohne PFAS: EMPA Dübendorf/Schweiz.
- Abstract
The EMPA in Dübendorf, Switzerland, is developing a method for producing environmentally friendly water-repellent textile fibers without the use of fluorinated PFAS chemicals. The process uses highly cross-linked siloxanes that are applied to the textile fibers in plasma clouds. The coated fibers repel water more effectively and dry faster than conventional products. Swiss textile companies such as Lothos KLG, beag Bäumlin & Ernst AG, and AG Cilander are already involved in the development.
