Polartec unveils bio-based weather protection technology Power Shield
In South Carolina, textile solutions provider Polartec announced the launch of its new bio-based Power Shield fabric technology.
The firm noted that the advanced monolithic membrane of Polartec Power Shield is made from a combination of plant-based and non-PFAS materials.
“With the launch of Power Shield, we’re reinforcing Polartec’s expanded capabilities of breathable and waterproof solutions – from expedition grade durability to fashion-forward hand and drape – while also pioneering the use of bio content to achieve these remarkable functionalities. We’re proud to launch a proprietary solution constructed from all non-PFAS polymers and plant-based building blocks that do not compete with human food sources. It is our commitment to reduce reliance on petroleum while producing a membrane that offers greater water-resistance performance than we’ve ever brought to market,” said Polartec President, Steve Layton.
