Zelan™ R3 renewably sourced, non-fluorinated durable water-repellent finish.
Based on a new technology from Chemours, this breakthrough product is the industry's first and only renewably sourced water repellent treatment available today.
Zelan™ R3 finish effectively repels water and common water-based liquids such as fruit juice, hot coffee and red wine. It performs well on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, synthetics and blends, and is ideal for high-performance outdoor and outerwear fabrics.
The new finish contains 63% renewably sourced content derived from a variety of plant-based sources, carefully selected to be from non-genetically-modified (non-GMO) and non-food-source feedstock. Claimed to be up to three times more durable than existing non-fluorinated repellents.
Compliant with the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) Joint Roadmap Manufacturers Restricted Substance List (MRSL). Bluesign approval in progress.
Supported by the 25 year alliance between Chemours and Huntsman which delivers superior technical support, consistent product quality, market driven science and innovation, and ongoing life-cycle product stewardship with industry expertise.
Furthermore brands and retailers that have fabric treated with Zelan™ R3 finish that meet durable water repellency (DWR) performance levels and have a Trademark Licensing Agreement with Chemours will be able to use the Teflon EcoElite™ brand in promotion of their products.
