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. As industries seek safer alternatives, the need for high-performance materials that do not compromise on functionality is greater than ever.

Matregenix’s PFAS Free Solution

At Matregenix, we have engineered a revolutionary answer: PFAS Free Oleophobic Nanofibers. These advanced materials provide exceptional oil and water repellency without relying on toxic fluorinated compounds. Using proprietary nanofiber electrospinning techniques, we design fibers at the nanoscale that inherently resist liquid absorption while maintaining breathability, flexibility, and durability.

Our PFAS free oleophobic nanofibers are a breakthrough for industries requiring high protection standards from medical textiles and filtration media to protective clothing and packaging.

How PFAS Free Oleophobic Nanofibers Work

Traditional PFAS coatings create a chemical barrier on material surfaces. In contrast, Matregenix’s nanofibers achieve oleophobicity through innovative structural design and safe, environmentally friendly surface treatments. By manipulating fiber diameter, porosity, and surface energy at the nano level, we create materials that naturally repel oil and water.

This approach ensures:

  • No harmful chemical leaching

  • Enhanced material longevity

  • Environmentally sustainable manufacturing

The result is a safer, high-performance material without the risks associated with PFAS chemicals.

Key Benefits of PFAS Free Oleophobic Nanofibers

1. Health and Environmental Safety

By eliminating PFAS, we protect both the environment and human health. Our PFAS free nanofibers align with global sustainability initiatives and corporate responsibility goals.

2. Superior Performance

Our oleophobic nanofibers match and often exceed the oil and water repellency traditionally achieved with PFAS. They maintain these properties over repeated uses and washes, ensuring long-term effectiveness.

3. Versatility Across Industries

Matregenix’s PFAS Free Oleophobic Nanofibers are ideal for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Medical gowns, drapes, and masks

  • Outdoor apparel and gear

  • Industrial filtration systems

  • Food packaging and processing materials

4. Customizable Solutions
We work closely with our clients to develop tailored nanofiber solutions based on specific performance requirements. Whether you need added strength, enhanced breathability, or unique functional finishes, our technology can be adapted to meet your needs.

Leading the Future of Safer Materials

Matregenix is committed to being at the forefront of sustainable innovation. Our PFAS Free Oleophobic Nanofibers are not just an alternative; they represent the future of high-performance, environmentally responsible materials.

 Electrospinning is an advanced technique used to produce ultrafine fibers from various materials, primarily polymers, by applying a high-voltage electric field. These fibers, often measured in nanometers, have remarkable properties that make them valuable across a wide range of industries, including medicine, filtration, textiles, and energy storage. The process itself is relatively simple, yet its impact on material science and engineering is profound due to the versatility and scalability it offers for creating nanofiber-based products. The Basics of Electrospinning At its core, electrospinning relies on the interaction between a liquid polymer solution and an electric field. During the process, the polymer solution is loaded into a syringe, which is connected to a high-voltage power source. When the electric field is applied, it creates a charge imbalance on the surface of the liquid, causing it to overcome its surface tension. This results in the formation of a jet of the poly...
