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 provide properties such as water, dirt, and chemical repellency. However, their problematic persistence in the environment, as well as regulatory requirements such as the EU PFAS restriction regulation , are driving the development of alternative technologies. PFAS-free coatings offer a more environmentally friendly and future-proof solution without compromising functionality.
