Fabrics – wearable bands
Unmet Needs
Fabric bands for wearables need to prevent water weight up-take and have reduced drying times.
Need a PFOA-free, stain resistant coating that does not affect hand and cosmetics.
Differentiation from incumbent solutions
Liquid based coatings are too thick, affecting the hand and cosmetic look. In addition, the non-uniform attachment can lead to inconsistency of moisture retention and drying times.
P2i's Solution
10x reduction in Moisture Retention and Drying Time.
Increased repellency to aqueous liquids – AATCC193.
Increased repellency to oils – AATCC118.
Not impact to the cosmetic features of the product (no color transfer – crocking) – AATCC8.
Improved lifetime of the product; high abrasion resistance and coating washability – AATCC150:2018.
Coating Approved for Subject Human Contact Use (HRIPT – Human Repeat Insult Patch Test).
