FibraLAST® Non-Fluorinated Barrier Technology

Non-fluorinated coatings protect nonwoven fabrics and technical textiles from both oils and water.

Non-fluorinated oil and water repellents for technical textiles and nonwovens

When applied as a thin polymeric coating on textiles, FibraLAST® repellents form a microscopically rough texture that acts as a chemical barrier. This treatment enables textiles to repel oil-based stains and fluids, causing them to bead up for easy cleaning. FibraLAST repellents can be applied via dipping or industrial spray-coating, offering a high-performance, sustainable alternative to fluorinated repellent technologies.

FibraLAST additives can create waterproof packaging to protect food products.
