As a producer of highly technical protective fabrics, we aim to create chemical finishes that are less impactful on the environment.
The challenge lies in delivering leading protection without compromising other important elements such as comfort or durability. In response to the demands of the US emergency response market, our team of chemists faced this challenge head-on by developing an all-new fire service outer shell finish called FreeFAS®.
Patented in 2022, FreeFAS® is an NFPA-compliant, Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish designed without the use of fluorine-containing compounds. To bring this product to life, our team of chemists and engineers developed, screened, and tested countless new technology and product combinations, ultimately achieving leading levels of water repellency and abrasion resistance.
