PFAS
Advanced PFAs Removal for Water Treatment
Puraffinity has developed Puratech, a patented solution designed to effectively remove PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from water. Puratech uses advanced materials with high adsorption capacity, engineered through a proprietary multi-step process that enhances performance. This innovative technology offers superior PFAS removal compared to traditional petroleum-derived ion exchange resins and granular activated carbon, thanks to its broader-spectrum removal capabilities and faster kinetics.
Amphitex™ by Amphico
Amphitex™ is a PFAs-free alternative to traditional waterproof and breathable textiles. Developed by Amphico, a leader in integrating research, engineering, and design to advance innovation and circularity, Amphitex™ is crafted for outdoor use with a unique, coating-free Amphidry™ Yarn. This yarn is essentially superhydrophobic and does not require additional water-repellent chemical coatings. Free from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Amphitex™ achieves high performance in both waterproofing and breathability, matching the standards of industry leaders.
Fluorine-Free Hydrophobic Liquid Repellent
Developed by DetraPel, Inc., a clean-tech advanced materials company specializing in synthesizing and manufacturing PFAs-free protecting coatings. Detrapel’s technology platform introduces a new way of blending and dispersing immiscible particles into water-based systems. These unique products and processes help remove cancerous PFA chemicals with non-toxic, sustainable, PFAs-free alternatives that outperform traditional legacy fluorinated chemistries.
