Why PFAS-Free functional fabric finishes are the future of textiles
The global textile and apparel industry is undergoing a major shift away from PFAS-based chemistries. With regulatory restrictions tightening across Europe, North America, and Asia, brands must find more sustainable, compliant alternatives that still meet demanding performance requirements.
Microban International is leading this transition with a portfolio of PFAS-free textile technologies that combine performance with more sustainable innovation. These solutions are engineered to:
Maintain high standards for water repellency, odor control, and antimicrobial performance
Support compliance with global regulations
Enhance textile durability
