Textile Finishing Options Amid Tightening PFAS Restrictions
Frank Keohan, Technical manager, Organic Dyes and Pigments LLC
PFAS (Per and PolyfluoroAlkyl Substances) containing Water & Oil Repellent Chemicals are under state and federal environmental regulatory pressures to be reduced, and eventually eliminated, from the marketplace and the environment.
These mandates are driving the Textile and related industries (and well known clothing & outerwear Brands) to find safer chemical replacements for these very versatile PFAS containing chemicals.
Mr. Frank Keohan, (Technical Manager) addressed these concerns via his presentation “Textile Finishing Options Amid Tightening PFAS Restrictions” at the Advanced Textile EXPO’s Emerging Technologies Conference, September 23, 2024, in Anaheim, California
Frank’s in-depth presentation starts with a primer on PFAS Chemistry and applications, and then details the dynamic Federal and State regulatory landscape. The presentation continues with the performance and efficacy of PFAS containing chemicals used in the Textile Industry. Finally, Frank details the derivation and performance of available (and emerging) chemistries and products that can be used as replacements for PFAS containing chemicals.
