Sciessent, a provider of antimicrobial and odor adsorption solutions for the textile and apparel industries, has entered the market for fluorocarbon-free durable water repellent (DWR) fabric finish with the introduction of CURB. Similar to other DWR treatments, CURB gives textiles a functional finish that adds liquid-shedding properties to outerwear, causing droplets to bead and roll off the surface while maintaining permeability to air and water vapor. CURB is also compatible with Sciessent’s Agion Active XL and Lava XL, two of the brand’s recently launched odor control technologies.
“We are very excited to announce the launch of our CURB technology. We feel it is important to offer our partners a product that delivers performance while also limiting the use of harmful chemicals,” said Paul Ford, Chief Executive Officer for Sciessent. “Helping protect the environment is everyone’s responsibility and we’re happy to contribute where we can.”
