HICKORY, N.C. â January 26, 2021 â TSG Finishing LLC is pleased to announce that 100-percent of its DEFEND® brand of water and stain repellent finishes now utilize plant-based technology.
Through the efforts of TSGâs technical and development teams, DEFEND will continue to excel in repelling both water and oil-based products while carrying the label of being plant-based. Utilizing and perfecting these applications, TSG can report this technology reduces the amount of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFAS), a fluorinated chemical also known as C6, by one third with the new formulation. Employing a USDA certified bio-based product has been key in the progression of the plant-based formulation.
