With environmental consciousness and sustainability in mind, Greensboro, N.C.-based Burlington Performance Fabrics has launched PF Zero™, a non-fluorocarbon-based repellent finish for high-performance apparel fabrics. The eco-friendly, water-based technology is durable, breathable, comfortable and odorless, according to Burlington.
The technology is being launched across multiple business and has been introduced to numerous brands. The finish is suitable for any application where water repellent protection is required including outerwear, rainwear, snow sports, and golf, among other applications. The technology also is available for use on personal protective equipment fabrics and flame-resistant materials such as fire turnout gear. In addition, PF Zero is in development for use in uniform and military fabrics.
