Chemours™ offers a broad range of additives and finished products that contribute to a wide-range of desirable surface properties – including but not limited to low coefficient of friction, non-stick, anti-fouling, and both oil and water repellency – which are critical to a range of markets for both consumer and industrial applications.<br/><br/>The aim of this talk is to chronicle the technological hurdles within the textile market segment and illustrate the unique solutions that embody short-chain repellents, which offer equivalent and in some cases superior performance and runnability to alternative technology. In addition, the talk will introduce an innovation platform that continues to broaden the product portfolio available in the area of durable water repellent (DWR) textiles through the use of novel non-fluorinated technology derived from renewably-sourced precursors.
