30/04/2013
One of the products it will have on show is Acrafix PCI, which works as crosslinker and adhesion promoter. Another is a booster, Baygard FBI, which can improve the permanency of fluorocarbon finishes on all kinds of substrates, the company said in the build-up to the event. Another Baygard product, Baygard EFN, will be presented as a modern C6-technology, free of PFOS and PFOA.
In addition, there will be a series of products especially designed for coating synthetic fabrics for outdoor apparel. These include Tanacoat OMP, a soft basecoat and Tanacoat MTO, a medium hard topcoat. The end products show high light-fastness and UV-resistance, Tanatex said on making the announcement.
It quoted Tanacoat SFT as a good example of how some of these products can work together in textile applications. Tanacoat SFT is a compounded coating for polyester fabrics with flame-retardent properties, without halogen-containing components. Safety product manufacturers want flame-retardant solutions that are free of halogen because many halogenated flame-retardant chemicals are persistent, bio-accumulative and toxic.
