H2O Shield is a PFAS- and PFOS-free water-resistant finish portfolio. The technology can be customized with four repellent options. WR1000 is best suited for overall water repellency in low-touch applications like tents and awnings. WR1001 is optimized for wicking performance in athletic and sweat-resistant apparel. WR1002 is formulated to address chalking defects and color shift issues on dark-hued fabrics prone to scratches. WR1003 helps prevent tearing in applications such as tents and backpacks. An optional pretreatment, WR-P, is available for fabrics that are traditionally difficult to treat. The finishes achieve results of 80 or over on the AATCC TM22 spray repellency test.
