Monday, 27 July 2009
BASF, world's leading chemical company is launching two new fluorocarbon finishing systems - one for stain repellent and one for stain release - under the name Lurotex® Duo System, said a press release.
Both of them are made up of two components: a Lurotex® fluorocarbon finish based on advanced C6 technology and a unique Perapret® booster, which has been specially developed to enhance the performance of the Lurotex® fluorocarbon finish.
The Lurotex® Duo Systems protect textiles, such as clothing, home textiles and upholstery from soiling and staining and keep them spotless. Moreover, customers can meet the latest as well as future ecological requirements.
Lurotex® Duo Systems are combinations of Lurotex® fluorocarbon finishes based on advanced C6 technology and a unique Perapret® booster, which has been specially developed to accompany the Lurotex® fluorocarbon finish that enhances the spotless effect:
The new Lurotex® fluorocarbon finishes are based on C6 technology. Compared to products based on the current C8 technology, the trace of PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) is reduced to below the level of detection with state of the art analytical methods. "This will support customers, as well as retailers and brands in meeting the latest and future ecological requirements," explains Janardhanan Ramanujalu, Head of Global Business Management Textile Chemicals at BASF. "We view consumer safety, resource saving and climate protection as highly important for the sustainable development of the textile industry, as well as satisfying customer's demands for high performance. Lurotex® Duo System is yet another example of our contribution to Putting *FUTURE into Textiles."
