-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Intro

Fluorine-free water repellent for footwear textile is developed for footwear material suppliers and coating plants that need water protection without fluorinated chemistry. The chemistry is built on fluorine-free raw materials and is used on footwear upper fabric, lining and coated fiber.

It is used in pad-dry-cure and coating processes, and can be applied to woven and knitted footwear textile, PU synthetic leather and coated fiber. The product can be combined with anti-siphon systems when both surface repellency and internal anti-wicking are required.

For footwear programs that need fluorine-free chemistry and restricted substance documentation, this product supports the material story without changing the finishing system. It is used in outdoor footwear, safety footwear and sports footwear programs.

Typical users include footwear material suppliers, coating plants, synthetic leather producers and brands that specify fluorine-free chemistry. TDS, samples and technical support are available on request.
