Advantages and disadvantages of fluorine-free waterproofing agent

Today, Suzhou Leman’s polymer technology consultant will give you a detailed introduction. Specializing in the production of various textile finishing agents, fluorine-free waterproofing agents, C8 waterproofing agents, C6 waterproofing agents, cross-linking agents and other textile auxiliaries, welcome to sample and test.

Fluorine-free waterproofing agent is a new type of environmentally friendly waterproofing agent. Compared with traditional fluorine-containing waterproofing agents, fluorine-free waterproofing agent has better environmental performance. As people’s awareness of environmental protection gradually increases, fluorine-free waterproofing agents are increasingly used in textiles, coatings, leather and other fields. This article will elaborate on the advantages and disadvantages of fluorine-free waterproofing agents.

Advantages of fluorine-free waterproofing agent

1. Better environmental performance: Fluorine-free waterproofing agents do not contain fluorine compounds. Compared with traditional fluorine-containing waterproofing agents, fluorine-free waterproofing agents have less impact on the environment during production, use and disposal, and can better protect the environment. Protect the earth’s ecological environment.

2. Good biodegradability: Fluorine-free waterproofing agents have better biodegradability, are not easily deposited in organisms, and have less impact on the human body and organisms. This feature makes fluorine-free waterproofing agents have great application advantages in fields with high environmental protection requirements.

3. High safety: Fluorine-free waterproofing agents are safe for the human body and the environment and will not cause irritation or allergic reactions to the human body. Therefore, fluorine-free waterproofing agents are increasingly used in fields that come into direct contact with the human body, such as textiles and leather.

4. Wide range of applications: Fluorine-free waterproofing agents can be applied to a variety of materials, such as textiles, coatings, leather, etc., and have good compatibility. Therefore, fluorine-free waterproofing agents have broad application prospects in various fields.

Disadvantages of fluorine-free waterproofing agents

1. The waterproof performance is relatively weak. Compared with fluorine-containing waterproofing agents, the waterproofing performance of fluorine-free waterproofing agents is relatively weak. Fluorine-free waterproofing agents can only give fabrics waterproof properties, but cannot give them oil-proof properties, which is far from the effect of fluorine-based products. Therefore, the application of fluorine-free waterproofing agents in certain fields is limited.

2. Poor durability: The durability of fluorine-free waterproofing agents is relatively poor. After a period of use, its waterproofing effect may gradually weaken. Therefore, the application of fluorine-free waterproofing agents in areas where long-term waterproofing performance is required is subject to certain limitations.

3. Higher cost. Compared with fluorine-containing waterproofing agents, the production cost of fluorine-free waterproofing agents is higher, resulting in a relatively higher price. This makes it difficult to promote large-scale application of fluorine-free waterproofing agents in cost-sensitive fields.

4. Few varieties. Currently, Leman Polymer has 12 fluorine-free waterproofing agent products. There are relatively few varieties of fluorine-free waterproofing agents on the overall market, making it difficult to meet the diverse needs of different fields. Therefore, the expansion of fluorine-free waterproofing agents in application fields still requires continuous technological innovation and product development.

In summary, fluorine-free waterproofing agents have the advantages of better environmental performance, good biodegradability, higher safety, and wide application fields. However, they also have relatively weak waterproofing performance, poor durability, high cost, and variety. Less shortcomings. Therefore, when choosing a fluorine-free waterproofing agent, you need to make a reasonable choice based on the needs and limitations of the specific application field, taking into account its advantages and disadvantages. With the continuous development and innovation of fluorine-free waterproofing agent technology, it is believed that it will be widely used in more fields in the future and create more value for mankind.
