This label allows these limits to be exceeded in order to maintain PPE protection. These include anti-acid (AA), water-repellent (HF), and oil-repellent (OE) finishes. This PFOA limit has been a major challenge for the industry in maintaining protection while progressing toward sustainability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We are pleased to announce that we can now offer an <strong>anti-acid finish without fluorine <\/strong>(Fluorine-Free) while maintaining user protection. We call this finish <strong>#AAFF.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thanks to this finish, we comply with EU Regulation 2016\/425 regarding restrictions on the use of PFOAs in protective garments, while also ensuring compliance with EN 13034 for two of the tested liquids: acid (H\u2082SO\u2084 30%) and base (NaOH 10%).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This fabric, like all anti-acid fabrics, requires specific <u>fluorine-free<\/u> laundering maintenance to ensure its properties are preserved throughout the garment\u2019s lifetime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This more sustainable finish has been tested, and its certification will depend on order intake; no stock will be kept. It will be produced on demand (minimum order of 500 meters). You can request a quotation from our sales department.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Would you like to be part of a more sustainable world?
