PFAS Free Oleophobic Nanofibers: A New Standard in Protection
In today’s rapidly evolving materials landscape, the demand for safer, more sustainable solutions has never been greater. One area where innovation is urgently needed is in creating high-performance, water- and oil-repellent materials without the use of harmful chemicals. Matregenix is proud to lead this transformation with our PFAS Free Oleophobic Nanofibers setting a new, environmentally responsible standard in advanced material protection. The Problem with PFAS Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often called "forever chemicals," have long been used to impart oleophobic (oil-repelling) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties to fabrics, papers, and other surfaces. However, studies have linked PFAS to serious environmental and health concerns, including groundwater contamination, bioaccumulation, and a range of adverse health effects. Regulatory bodies around the world are tightening restrictions on PFAS use, with some countries moving toward outright bans....
