Problem
Many industries rely on fluorinated (PFAS) chemicals for stain resistance and protective coatings, but these substances are persistent environmental pollutants linked to health risks. Replacing PFAS with safe, high‑performance alternatives is difficult because traditional formulations are oil‑based and lack scalable, water‑compatible processes.
Solution
DetraPel develops and manufactures PFAS‑free protective coatings using patented chemistries that blend immiscible particles into water‑based systems. The resulting formulations deliver superior repellency, durability, and stain resistance across consumer textiles, industrial packaging, healthcare materials, and electronic components. By eliminating toxic fluorochemicals, the technology meets stringent regulatory and sustainability requirements while maintaining or exceeding the performance of legacy products. DetraPel also offers end‑to‑end contract manufacturing—including private‑label, turnkey, custom formulation, and Airopack air‑pressurized packaging—to accelerate product launch for brand owners. All processes are supported by a new 40,000 sq ft manufacturing hub that provides high‑volume, low‑waste production capacity.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers of consumer goods, industrial packaging, healthcare products, technical textiles, and electronics seeking PFAS‑free, high‑performance protective coatings and sustainable dispensing solutions.
