Solution change ahead of new eco regulation
Prochem is ahead of changing environmental legislation with a new product name and an important formulation revision to its long-standing carpet and upholstery protector.
B130 Fluoroseal CF stain protector has been renamed B130 Aqua Protect CF to reflect a formulation change in the product.
This newly formulated dual-function carpet & upholstery protector is based on fluorine free water repellent technology for durable soil and stain resistance, effective against water-based products, such as coffee, tea, wine and similar spills.
"Restrictions are being placed on polyfluorinated-based products," says Prochem chemical product manager, Parag Patel.
"These are now classed as forever chemicals meaning they resist degradation due to the strong carbon-fluorine bonds and so are categorised as an environmental hazard.
.
"Changes in regulations are due to come into effect in the next two years, but we're being proactive and making the change to help stop adding PFAs to the environment."
