GreenShield is a topical finish that utilizes 7-10 times fewer fluorocarbons than similar finishes and releases no VOC emissions. The technology is based on amorphous silica nano-particles that permanently adhere to a fabric in a mesh network that prevents particles from becoming airborne. The manufacturing process requires lower temperatures, and therefore less energy, compared to similar finishes.
GreenShield is certified by SCS as a Low Fluorocarbon Treatment product and is the only stain resistance finish that is eligible for use on a
MBDC Cradle to Cradle Certified product.
