EcoGlide (PFAS-free coating)
PFAS-free coatings in the automotive sector – innovations from Rhenotherm
In the automotive industry, manufacturers and suppliers are increasingly faced with the challenge of finding innovative solutions that meet the growing demands for environmental friendliness, safety and performance. A key aspect is the elimination of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), as they are considered difficult to degrade and are suspected of being harmful to health.
Here sets Rhenotherm with his PFAS-free coatings new standards.
Why PFAS-free coatings?
PFAS are traditionally used in coatings to ensure properties such as water, dirt and chemical repellency. Their problematic persistence in the environment and regulatory requirements, such as the EU regulation on the restriction of PFAS, but are driving the development of alternative technologies. PFAS-free coatings offer a more environmentally friendly and future-proof solution without compromising on functionality.
