Ronse, Belgium – Devan Chemicals has leveraged biobased content to create a sustainable, PFC-free technology that tackles stains on textiles.
The new Devan Stain Release textile finishing solution prevents water- and oil-based stains from adhering deeply to the fibers and allows stains to be washed off easily from the surface. The technology combines both stain release and wicking properties.
The solution is most effective for cotton and cotton blends but will also enhance the performance of synthetics. It is applicable across a wide range of textile categories, including home textiles, bedding accessories, mattress ticking, school uniforms, garments, workwear and apparel.
Made with 40% bio-based content, Devan Stain Release is a ready-to-use product that does not require the mixing of different products. In addition, the technology enhances the longevity of fabrics by reducing the need for frequent washing, which is designed to ultimately contribute to a more sustainable consumption cycle.
“Our team has worked very hard to develop a solution that not only provides exceptional stain release but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability,” said Dr. Roberto Teixeira, chief technology officer at Devan Chemicals. “By offering effective protection against both water- and oil-based stains, we are empowering consumers to enjoy their textiles with confidence, knowing they are protected against everyday spills and mishaps.”
