XEBEC promotes green waterproof additives for apparel production

XEBEC in Tokyo is dedicated to the development of fluorine-based waterproof and oil-repellent processing aids that do not contain PFOA (ammonium perfluorooctanoate). The new products introduced by the company not only have less pollution to the environment, but also have less fiber and functional damage to the fabric. Polyester and nylon, cotton, wool and other fibers can use this additive for waterproof, anti-oil treatment. At present, the company mainly promotes this product to fashion apparel, sportswear, leather products and household products.

PFOA is a chemical that harms human health. In the United States, the PFOA ban has been introduced for 15 years. In order to remove this harmful substance, Japan's fluorine-based waterproof processing manufacturers are also converting the traditional C8 series of waterproof processing agents to the C6 series without PFOA. However, because C6 is inferior to C8 in terms of quality and performance, the application of C8 to C6 is slow in the application of apparel.

XEBEC mainly provides OEM production of apparel products for department stores. The company continues to deepen its market share with green, environmentally friendly and high quality products. In 2009, the company signed an exclusive agreement with FiberShield, a manufacturer of fabric surface protection agents, to open up the Japanese market.

The products of FiberShield, Inc. of the United States passed the 15-year U.S. government inspection. This product does not belong to the C8 or C6 series and is a combination of fluorine compounds. After repeated washing, the waterproof and oil repellent properties of the fabric will not be lost. In the United States, the preparation has been applied to apparel production by well-known sports brands.
