Innovation in repellency<br />
solutions<br />
One step ahead in fluorine-free water<br />
repellency.<br />
After several years of development, Clariant<br />
introduces Arkophob® FFR, a newly<br />
developed fluorine-free water repellent<br />
agent.<br />
We do have some products in the market,<br />
though they are not exact in performance to<br />
FFR, are similar in features projected.<br />
e.g Ecorepel technology of Schoeller,<br />
RucoDry Eco (Rudolf ) and Phobol from<br />
Huntsman.<br />
Arkophob® FFR brings out an innovative<br />
answer to water repellency demands.<br />
“Fluorine Free durable water repellency.”<br />
One-stop-shop for repellency solutions<br />
Clariant continuously develops repellency<br />
solutions that are kind to people and nature.<br />
With Arkophob® FFR, Clariant now offers an<br />
alternative, and more importantly an efficient<br />
one, to conventional fluorocarbon-based<br />
repellency products, and is in the position<br />
to provide solutions for virtually all water<br />
repellency needs.<br />
Think fluorine-free products. Think high<br />
performance.<br />
Think inspired creativity.<br />
Brands and retailers can finally dream of<br />
outdoor gear that protects the user and that<br />
is gentler to the environment.<br />
Arkophob® FFR has it all<br />
• Water repellency<br />
• Durability of the effect<br />

• Softness and bulky hand-feel<br />

With Clariant’s fluorine-free Arkophob® FFR,<br />
outdoor gear and equipment can reach a new<br />
level of performance.<br />
Trust the experts<br />
Clariant is a world leader in specialty chemicals<br />
and that comes with a number of assurances in<br />
terms of technology and performance.<br />
Technology<br />
Arkophob® FFR is an advanced technology.<br />
The active components are encapsulated,<br />
allowing a durable and even film formation<br />

fluorine-free products in terms of<br />
performance and durability of the effect. It can<br />

Tell the story<br />
Clariant offers a range of hangtags and labels<br />
especially designed to communicate the<br />
benefits brought to textiles by our functional<br />
effects.<br />
These labels help to highlight at-a-glance<br />
benefits that go beyond the obvious.<br />
