GTT is hitting its stride and showcasing its high-performance water-free and PFOA/PFOS (PFC)-free EMPEL textile-finishing platform
Albuquerque, N.M. (For Immediate Release): Green Theme Technologies Inc. (GTT), a leader in water-free and PFOA/PFOS (commonly known as PFCs)-free textile finishing, is launching into 2022 with a series of clean new products based on their dry-finishing EMPEL® platform. EMPEL currently delivers the highest performance water repellent DWR, anti-wicking, and stain release treatment in the global market, outperforming C6 fluorocarbon options. Recent independent tests conducted by Bureau Veritas prove that EMPEL™ uses NO PFOA/PFOS in their chemistry to achieve the best water repellent fabric protection.
Performance apparel brands such as Black Diamond, TREW Gear, Stoney Creek, and Artilect are currently producing apparel products that use EMPEL™. Several household brands will join the list in 2022 as they complete their field and in-house testing.
“Since we opened for business in 2017, we’ve been gaining momentum and we anticipate 2022 will be a year of strong growth,” said GTT’s CEO David Andreas. “Thanks to our existing brand partners, consumers are choosing gear treated with EMPEL™ because it protects them from the elements better, lasts longer (than C6 options), and the chemistry is PFOA/PFOS free”.
As more brands set environmental goals for themselves, they are increasingly looking to supply chain partners to help hit those goals. GTT’s EMPEL™ platform represents the gold standard for environmentally-friendly tech. Not only is it 100% PFOA/PFOS- and water-free, but it also outperforms all currently available DWR finishes.
