Non-fluorinated oil/water repellents for technical textiles

FibraLAST additives can create waterproof packaging to protect food products.

FibraLAST® non-fluorinated oil/water repellents are ideal for technical textiles. When applied as a thin polymeric coating on textiles, they 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.

These new coatings are ideal for:

  • Industrial fabrics
  • Upholstery
  • Automotive textiles
  • Medical textiles
  • Filtration
  • Awnings and marine textiles

They can be applied via dipping or industrial spray-coating and provide a high-performance, sustainable alternative to fluorinated repellent technologies.

Non-fluorinated oil/water repellents for nonwovens

FibraLAST non-PFAS oil/water repellents are ideal for use on nonwoven fabrics. When applied as a thin polymeric coating, they form a microscopically rough texture that acts as a chemical barrier. This treatment enables nonwovens to repel oil-based stains and fluids, including bodily fluids, causing them to bead up for easy cleaning.

These innovative coatings are ideal for:

  • Disposable medical products
  • Automotive nonwoven products
  • Filtration products

They can be applied via dipping or industrial spray-coating, offering a high-performance, sustainable alternative to fluorinated repellent technologies.

Non-fluorinated sizing additives for water and oil proof packaging

FibraLAST non-fluorinated sizing additives are made with natural materials that protect packaging from both water and oil. They prevent bleed-through of high-temperature liquids and food oils through the molded fiber, achieving 80 °C water and oil holdout performance.

They are FDA compliant for contact with food of all types and ideal for molded, formed fiber and cardboard products such as:

  • Fast-casual bowls
  • Fast-casual plates
  • Take-out containers
  • Pizza boxes

Since they are applied to the pulp before fabrication, no additional equipment of process is required. They can be used as an alternative to traditional oil sizing products, which are spray-coated on products after fabrication. Pulp and paper mills can cost-effectively enhance their products with a single wet-end additive.

Paper Products:

  • Non-fluorinated chemistry
  • Excellent alternative to traditional oil sizing product grades
  • Designed for wet-end processes
  • Designed to be applied to pulp instead of spray coating end product
  • Protects at high temperatures, even at 80 °C
  • FDA compliant for food contact
  • Kosher-approval pending
  • Excellent water repellency and hydrophilic stain release properties
  • Offers compatibility with a wide range of additives
  • Made in the USA
  • Patented technology

Technical Textiles:

  • Non-fluorinated chemistry
  • Ideal alternative to fluorinated repellent technologies
  • Designed for dipping or industrial spray-coating applications
  • Applied to finished end product
  • Minimal mark-off and chalking

Nonwoven Fabrics:

  • Non-fluorinated chemistry
  • Ideal alternative to fluorinated repellent technologies
  • Designed for dipping or industrial spray-coating applications
  • Compatibility with various binders in wet end applications
  • Oil and water repellency
  • Alcohol repellency including IPA
  • Excellent hydrostatic head properties
  • Anti-static compatibility
