PalmDry
Bio-based fluorine-free water repellent from palm
More than a thousand years ago, the Chinese already made palm into a coir raincoat to protect themselves from rain
Palm: Round of environmental water repellent
Today, we have developed PalmDry, a bio-based fluorine-free water repellent based on bionic hydrophobic technology, which can be used on a wide range of fibers and fabrics to keep clothes dry in the rain.
Advantages of PalmDry organic fluorine-free water repellent
Fluorine-free: a "safe" water repellent for humans
The fluorinated water repellents have a similar core ingredient to non-stick pans: fluorocarbons (PFCs). PFCs are kind of chemical substance that is harmful to the environment, once released into the natural environment is difficult to decompose, and will spread to all parts of the world (mountains and lakes are detected its presence). At the same time, it will spread to the human body along the food chain. Deposition in the body will cause irreversible harm to human health, especially to children. Therefore, many countries, brands, and consumers are beginning to recognize the harm of fluorinated water repellent to human health and the environment.
EU countries have gradually banned fluorinated water repellents since 2015
China to restrict the use of fluorinated water repellents from 2025
Some apparel brands have already banned fluorinated water repellents
Consumer`s concern about the safety of water repellents has increased
Organic: renewable, biodegradable, environmentally friendly water repellent
PalmDry organic fluorine-free water repellent VS conventional fluorine-free water repellent
PalmDry is made from the fruit of the palm tree
- Natural and renewable raw materials
- Low Carbon Circular Economy
- Green and biodegradable
Traditional fluorine-free water repellent raw materials from petroleum
- Non-renewable raw materials are used
- Higher carbon emissions
- Ultra-long degradation period
Proven process and compatibility
Superior Performance
Gives the fabric excellent water and stain resistance while maintaining good breathability and natural hand feel
Good compatibility
It can be realized simultaneously with other kinds of functional finishing without negatively affecting the overall performance of the fabric.
Convenient process
On cotton, chemical fiber and their blends, a simple dipping and padding process can be used
Safety and environmental protection of the entire industrial chain
Due to its bio-based nature, PalmDry eliminates the pollution of chemical additives to the ecological environment from the source, therefore, compared with traditional water repellents, safe and environmentally friendly are PalmDry`s significant advantages. While pursuing high performance, this technology will never at the expense of health of any industry chain personnel and end consumers
Passed several safety standards tests
Skin irritation
Acute percutaneous toxicity
Through the rigorous testing of big brands
Successfully applied by many apparel brands
PalmDry has been fully applied and proven on different brands of fibers and fabrics.
Wide range of fabric applicability and effectiveness
Whether natural or chemical fibers, knitted, woven or nonwoven, the technology is easy to use. Factories can implement this technology in a very time-saving and efficiently. The treated fabrics have excellent water and stain repellency, and are so durable that they retain their water repellency even after 50 washes and dryings.
Comply with domestic and international safety and environmental protection certification
PalmDry's hydrophobic ingredients are naturally sourced and comply with the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC MRSL) standard and the ecological textile auxiliaries OEKO-TEX and ECO PASSPORT standards, providing a complete service for the safety and environmental certification of factories and brands.
