03/02/2016
Swedish textile technology provider OrganoClick has said the publicity surrounding scrutiny of perfluorinated compounds (PFAS or PFC) in outdoor apparel has brought it a considerable boost.

Creator of a PFC-free water repellent finish, OrganoClick said after ISPO 2016 in Munich that the publicity around the use of fluorocarbons had increased the number of visitors to its stand by 300% compared to 2015.

“wW are now having tangible discussions with several international clothing brands who want to transition to an entirely fluorocarbon-free water repellent technology by 2017, or by 2020 at the latest,” said Mårten Hellberg, managing director of OrganoClick after the Munich exhibition.
