You’ve probably already heard about PFAS chemicals in fabric use and their harmful effects, and how varying state laws have required manufacturers to swap-out various components of those fabrics.
Some PFAS-free replacements can make those newer versions of fabrics’ performance inferior to what you’re used to. Water and oil repellency may decrease while crazing may increase. Complying to a confusing array of newer state laws can cause a lot of anxiety for fabricators that are used to delivering end-products with superior performance.
If you’re caught in this dilemma, there is good news. TOP GUN, ODYSSEY and SOFTOUCH contain NO PFAS . . . since the very first day we launched these fabric lines. Never have. Never will.
You heard right: When it comes to PFAS: TOP GUN, ODYSSEY and SOFTOUCH were always manufactured PFAS-free.
Bypass the stressful and risky process of wondering if replacement PFAS-free fabrics will be inferior quality. Enjoy the peace of mind knowing you can use proven, strong, industry-standard fabrics that stand the test of time. Have more questions? Click here for answers.
