In the daily use of webbing products, the wicking phenomenon is a common pain point. When one end of the webbing comes into contact with liquid, moisture rapidly spreads through the capillaries between the fibers along the entire length of the webbing, causing it to quickly gain weight and change color, and even leading to internal mold growth, seriously affecting the product's appearance, hand feel and service life. Although traditional fluorine-containing water repellents are somewhat effective, they face increasingly strict environmental and safety regulations. The market urgently needs an efficient, eco-friendly and durable waterproofing solution.
Chemi Tech focuses on the research and development of functional chemicals, and the dedicated fluorine-free water repellent it has launched was created precisely to meet this challenge. Through a special molecular structure design, the product can form a uniform, dense nano-scale protective film on the surface of the webbing fibers. This film significantly reduces the surface energy of the fibers, so that water droplets cannot wet or spread, thereby blocking the capillary wicking channels at the source and achieving excellent anti-wicking and waterproofing effects. At the same time, it does not contain regulated substances such as PFOA and PFOS, making it safe and eco-friendly and in line with modern production requirements.
Our solution is easy to operate and readily integrated into existing processes. The main steps include: first, pre-treat the webbing to ensure it is clean and free of oil stains so as to guarantee the treatment effect; second, evenly apply the Chemi Tech fluorine-free water repellent working liquid to the webbing by padding or spraying; then, dry it at an appropriate temperature so that the water repellent firmly crosslinks and bonds; finally, conduct performance tests to ensure the waterproofing and anti-wicking effects meet the standard. The whole process requires no complicated equipment modification and is highly efficient.
Case sharing: an outdoor products manufacturer applied Chemi Tech fluorine-free water repellent to the webbing of its hiking backpacks. With the treated webbing, even when water droplets continuously contact one end, the moisture only forms beads within a very small area and does not spread lengthwise. In actual simulated rain tests, the backpack webbing remained dry and its weight barely increased, effectively protecting the items inside the bag, and the customer reported that the product's durability and user experience were significantly improved.
