EverShield is a Durable Omni Repellent (DOR) that deflects water, food, oil, and so much more. DORs have evolved from DWRs because DWR fabrics can only repel water. The fabric protection establishes a polymer coating that encases each fibre of the material, significantly increasing durability through a complex, protective matrix. The coating that is created maintains performance levels of long chain fluorocarbons while utilising more acceptable six-carbon fluoropolymers, according to a press release.
EverShield uses an environmentally friendly formula using C6 chemistry and it is also water-based with no VOCs. Unlike some DWRs, EverShield treated fabrics can be washed at standard temperatures. No super-heated wash or drying cycles are needed to maintain superhydrophobicity or oleophobicity. Cooler water and cooler dryers allows for less energy consumption and lower operating costs. EverShield outperforms DWRs by repelling water in addition to oils, food products, mud, concrete, ice and other aqueous solutions. (GK)
