AsahiGuard E-SERIES ™ - Functions and Features

Water resistance occurs when surface tension (surface energy) of the solid surface is lower than the liquid surface tension. (* See diagram )
The perfluoroalkyl group (Rf group) exhibits very low surface tension. Solid surfaces coated by Rf groups resist not only water-soluble liquids (such as water, coffee, or milk) but also highly-active and aggressive liquids such as oil, alcohol, and gasoline.
Fluorinated water/oil repellant agents are recognized as superior to wax or silicone agents because of their excellent stability and durability in real-world conditions.

Comparison water repellency tests between textile treated by AsahiGuard E-SERIES ™ and untreated fabric are shown in the video. And comparison grease proof properties tests between paper boats treated by AsahiGuard E-SERIES ™ and untreated paper boats are also shown in the video.

AsahiGuard E-SERIES ™ also includes SR (stain release) products which can easily remove stains from textiles during washing.

Since the AsahiGuard E-SERIES ™ can provide outstanding water and oil repellency to various types of textiles, it can give them excellent stain resistance (preventing various type of stains). It can prevent stains from not only water-soluble liquids (such as water, coffee, or milk) but also highly-active and aggressive liquids such as oil, alcohol, and gasoline.

Registered as a chemical substance in Japan, AsahiGuard E-SERIES is registered in many other countries including the United States, Europe, and Asia. For details, please inquire with us. (click here)
