Eine neue wasserabweisende Oberflächenbehandlung zur Verwendung auf Textilien und anderen faserbasierten Materialien, die keine Fluorcarbone oder Isocyanate enthält.

Fluorcarbon- und isocyanathaltige Mischungen sind seit vielen Jahren zur wasserabweisenden Oberflächenbehandlung von Textilien und anderen faserbasierten Materialien verwendet worden. Heute weiß man, dass sich viele Fluorcarbone (z.B. PFOA) extrem langsam in der Natur abbauen und Hormonstörungen bei vielen Wassertieren auslösen, wohingegen viele Isocyanate giftig für Menschen sind. OC-aquasil™ stellt eine alternative Oberflächenbehandlung für Anwendungen vor, die einen hohen Grad an Abweisung von Wasser oder wasserbasiertem Schmutz verlangen, allerdings ohne Fluorcarbone und Isocyanate.

A new water repellent surface treatment which contain no fluorocarbons or isocyanates, to be used on textiles and other fibre-based materials.

Fluorocarbon and isocyanate containing mixtures have been used for many years as water repellent surface treatments of textiles and of other fibre-based materials. Today it is clear that many fluorocarbons (e.g. PFOA) degrade extremely slowly in nature and cause hormone disruption among many aquatic animals, whereas many isocyanates are toxics to humans. OC-aquasil™ presents an alternative surface treatment for applications where a high degree of repellence towards water and water-based soil is required, but without fluorocarbons or isocyanates.
