Reflective Apparel, a manufacturer of a complete line of high-visibility apparel, has eliminated hydrofluorocarbons, fluorine, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals,” from its water-resistant and waterproof garments. All new stock now features a C0 hydrofluorocarbon-free, fluorine-free and PFAS-free durable water repellent (DWR) finish. Unlike PFAS-based repellents, C0 DWR technologies use alternative chemistries that break down more easily and do not bioaccumulate. C0 DWR treatments still provide effective water repellency in outdoor workwear. C0 fluorine-free DWR finishes not only protect against water penetration, but also improve color fastness, dust resistance, screen printing durability and stain resistance.
