DWR development from Dow
Materials science company Dow has launched a new finishing product for durable water repellency (DWR), Dowsil IE-9100 Emulsion. It will bring the product to market as part of its Ecolibrium brand portfolio.
The company said the product would match the DWR performance of fluoro-containing emulsions, making it a good choice for high-performance outerwear fabrics, including athleticwear, outdoor garments and equipment, personal protective equipment, and footwear.
