Water- and oil-repellency system protects fabrics

Specialty Fabrics Review | September 2009

Barrier by HeiQ water- and oil-repellency system provides extraordinary protection against the elements and stains for all types of fabrics. The unique 3D structure of the textile surface is built up by specialized microsized particles firmly embedded in the finish for enhanced performance. Special surface structure minimizes the contact area between water or oil and the textile, effectively preventing water, oil and stains from adhering to the surface. High-performance technology of Barrier by HeiQ can cut the use of fluorine-based repellency chemicals by up to 60 percent, according to the manufacturer, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
