Primaloft Renews OEKO-TEX Certification

PrimaLoft, Inc. has renewed its OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification for its PrimaLoft insulations, yarns and performance down blends. The certification ensures that PrimaLoft’s certified products have been tested and are free from harmful levels of more than 300 potentially dangerous substances such as residual surfactants, carcinogenic dyestuffs, heavy metals, and formaldehyde, according to the company.

PrimaLoft has held the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification for approximately 15 years. . OEKO-TEX is aligned with the apparel industry’s Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) initiative. Because of the modular nature of the OEKO-TEX certification program, brands using PrimaLoft Insulations and Yarns can take credit for PrimaLoft’s certification when applying for OEKO-TEX certifications for their own product lines.

“OEKO-TEX certification is another element of the exceptional comfort we build into our PrimaLoft products,” said Mike Joyce, president and chief executive officer of PrimaLoft, Inc. “In addition to physical comfort, our OEKO-TEX certified PrimaLoft products now promise the peace of mind that they are free from concerning chemicals.”
