Fluorine FreeFluorine is an integral part of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). These are highly-toxic man-made chemicals numbering in the thousands. Many companies use fluorine/PFAS for its water resistance properties, however these “forever chemicals” do not degrade in the environment. PFAS can contaminate the air, water, and soil exposing people and wildlife harmful health effects.
InnovationWe continue to develop our products by keeping on top of the latest technologies and listening to our customer needs. ** We are launching two additional apparel lines. Our military apparel line SCOUT and radiation apparel line ALARA coming soon!
