DURABLE WATER & OIL REPELLENCE
PFOS and PFOA free - TEXTILE FLUORINE FREE WATER REPELLENCE
DURABLE WATER & OIL REPELLENCE
TEXTILE WATER
& OIL REPELLENCE
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Avco® fluoropolymers specifically designed to impart durable water repellence (DWR) effect, oil repellence and stain release properties to various kind of fabrics. These polymers are suitable for both textiles and nonwoven materials as highperformance outdoor equipment and work-clothes. Once properly applied they do not interfere neither with the original breathability or with the softness of the fabrics. All of our C6 Avco® fluoropolymers are Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) free.
PROPERTIES
- Excellent water- and oil- repellence
- Solvent repellence
- Durable water repellence (DWR) effect
- Stain and soil release
- Easy to clean properties
- Resistant to dry cleaning and abrasion
- The original appearance of the finishes does not change
- Compatible with many other bath auxiliaries
- Possibility of low temperature curing grade polymer
- Nonwoven barrier performance for medical, filtration and automotive applications
- In compliance with the limits set by the regulation (EC) 2017/1000 on PFOA, its salts and PFOA-related substances (PFOA free*)
- OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 compliant when used according to technical data sheet

CROSSLINKERS BLOCKED
BLOCKED POLY-ISOCYANATE
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Avco fluorine-free blocked isocyanate. They can be used as crosslinking agents for various coating applications that require heat-curing cycles. Applications include increased durable water repellent (DWR) effect and soil release roperties. The durability and the adhesion of coatings are also improved. All of our Avco blocked isocyanate polymers are formaldehyde-free.
PROPERTIES
- Improve the durable water repellence (DWR) effect
- Improve the soil release properties on textiles and leather
- Improve the resistance to chemical and environmental attack
- Improve the durability of coatings and adhesives in aqueous-pad applications
- Enhance the lamination and the adhesion of coatings
- Improve the resistance to blood and saline penetration in woven and nonwoven fabrics
- Require heat-curing cycles
CROSSLINKERS
POLY-CARBODIIMIDE
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Avco® fluorine-free carbodiimide crosslinkers. They are an excellent alternative for more hazardous isocyanate and aziridine crosslinkers. They react with COOH groups (in acrylic and polyurethane polymers) forming the so-called “interpenetrating network” with the polymeric binder. The result is a dense network that improves the resistance performances of the coating against cleaning liquids and prevents sun cream lotions, food and chemicals stains.
PROPERTIES
- Increase strength and hardness
- Improve abrasion and chemical resistance
- Improve the resistance to hydrolysis
- Increase the adhesion to substrates
- Improve products pot-life
- Not moisture sensitive
- Fast curing speed
