Biotex Malaysia determined to completely eliminate the use of ecologically harmful fluorocarbons (PFC) from his technical textile repellents. We have taken another major step toward achieving this great target.
Biotex water repellent provide excellent protection against water and water-based stains and maintains the fabric’s breathability.
Fluorocarbon / perfluorocarbons was the standard technology in the textile finishing market for water and oil repellent finishes and also a very convenient /cost-effective solution. The interest in developing alternative solutions was very low. Public and industrial awareness was also very limited to this.
Fluorocarbon resins/ perfluorocarbons was the high performance product with outstanding cost effectiveness. The textile chemical supply industry had to change the whole developments, new test standards and build competence with the brands. BIOTEX Malaysia initiated close cooperation with all parties involved in its supply chain as well as with our monomer suppliers. BioGuard ZERO is 68 % based on smart raw material, such as recycled stearyl polymers. Which reduce overall the CO2 footprint when using our water repellent technology.
ASTM D6866-22 Standard Test Methods for Determining the Biobased Content of Solid, Liquid, and Gaseous Samples Using Radiocarbon Analysis. BIOTEX also conducted extensive research in order to develop testing methods and standards for this new technology. With considerable time and effort, more than 450 fabrics with various PFC-free finishes were tested to ensure that Biotex Malaysia high performance requirements for waterproofing and water repellency were met.
