Textile finishing specialist Green Theme Technology (GTT) has followed up news that its Empel platform has been certified as being free from PFOA and PFOS chemicals with the launch of a version that it says will provide durable stain protection across a wide range of textiles.

The New Mexico-based company has said the new version, Empel DRS, “creates a protective treatment that outperforms other currently available C6 and C0 options”.

GTT vice-president, Martin Flora, said: “The goal was to protect fabrics from stains for easier cleaning at lower temperatures. Empel DSR will help brands create lasting, sustainable products by protecting the fabric from common deep penetrating stains that typically ruin the appearance of apparel.”
