UltraTech International, Inc., a leader in the environmental compliance industry and specialty fabric coatings, has announced that its new product, EverShield, has been voted into the Material ConneXion library, the world's largest membership-based library of unique, innovative, and sustainable materials.

A group of esteemed jurors and Material ConneXion employees chose EverShield to be displayed in Material ConneXion's flagship library in New York City, as well as online in Material ConneXion's comprehensive database. Each month, 40-50 new materials enter the Material ConneXion library after being reviewed and evaluated based upon specific criteria.

EverShield is a Durable Omni Repellent (DOR) that deflects water, food, oil, and so much more. DORs have evolved from DWRs because DWR fabrics can only repel water. The fabric protection establishes a polymer coating that encases each fibre of the material, significantly increasing durability through a complex, protective matrix. The coating that is created maintains performance levels of long chain fluorocarbons while utilising more acceptable six-carbon fluoropolymers, according to a press release.

EverShield uses an environmentally friendly formula using C6 chemistry and it is also water-based with no VOCs. Unlike some DWRs, EverShield treated fabrics can be washed at standard temperatures. No super-heated wash or drying cycles are needed to maintain superhydrophobicity or oleophobicity. Cooler water and cooler dryers allows for less energy consumption and lower operating costs. EverShield outperforms DWRs by repelling water in addition to oils, food products, mud, concrete, ice and other aqueous solutions. (GK)
