Huntsman introduces DuPont Capstone for textiles

31/03/2009
DuPont Capstone products are to be sold by Huntsman Textile Effects under the designation Oleophobol CP. Based on short-chain chemistry, these products provide a step-change reduction in trace impurities below the limit of detection, offering the same or better performance than their predecessors without compromising fluorine efficiency.

The initial product offering from Huntsman includes a stain release (Oleophobol CP-R) and a synthetic oil and water repellent (Oleophobol CP-S). The stain release is suitable for cotton, synthetics and blends and eases the removal of both water- and oil-based stains during laundering.

The stain repellent is suitable for synthetic fibres and their blends and enables spills to be blotted up quickly with a dry, absorbent cloth.

Oleophobol CP will work in mills in a similar way to traditional products and will deliver high performance without an increase in product use rate. Fabrics remain breathable and comfortable during wear and are durable.
