Fluorine-free waterproofing agents lead future market development trends

With the EU environmental protection requirements imposing strict restrictions on PFOA, PFOS, and APEO, the water-blocking agent market has transformed from the original C8 fluorocarbon products through technological innovation to the emergence of low-carbon and environmentally friendly C6 water-blocking products. Fluorine-free water retardants have been sought after by consumers for their unique environmental protection properties and have developed rapidly since their introduction. Fluorine-free water-repellent agent does not contain Freon, PFOA, PFOS, and APEO, and has little environmental pollution. It has significant advantages over C8 fluorocarbon water-repellent agent in terms of environmental protection.

However, fluorine-free water-blocking agents are not yet the best, their performance is unstable, and their water-blocking and oil-proofing properties cannot be compared with fluorocarbon water-repellent agents. This is a development problem that fluorine-free water-blocking agents must solve.

At present, the fluorine-free water-blocking agents with relatively mature technologies on the market mainly include:

1. Bionic Finish, a bionic ecological water-blocking agent launched by Germany’s Rudolf Group;

2. Huntsman’s fluorine-free water retardant PHOBOL,

3. Aquapel, a fluorine-free water blocking agent from NANO-TEX in the United States

Rudolf’s water-blocking agent Bionic Finish was launched earlier and was promoted better, has a larger market share, and is also widely known. NANO-TEX’s fluorine-free water-repellent agent Aquapel is a newly launched product. This product has relatively outstanding water-blocking properties and considerable water resistance. From this feature, it is worth recommending to everyone.

Although the current fluorine-free water-repellent agents are not mature enough, fluorine-free water-repellent agents represent the future development direction of water-repellent agents and meet people’s needs for environmental protection. I believe that through the unremitting efforts of the majority of fabric workers, fluorine-free water-blocking agents will be well developed and promoted in the near future.
