Unidyne XF Properties & Applications
Unidyne XF provides durable water repellency (DWR) and stain release properties to textiles and nonwovens, while maintaining breathability and the original soft hand of the fabric.
Unidyne XF – Durable PFC-free water repellency for all applications
Unidyne XF is Daikin’s environmentally friendly, fluorine-free product family of durable water repellent solutions for textiles. Unidyne XF offers excellent protection against water and water-based stains and maintains the fabric’s softness and breathability.
The new Unidyne XF keeps its excellent performance longer than other PFC-free water repellents because of Daikin‘s Advanced Anchor Technology (patent pending). This newly developed technology anchors the protective layer of Unidyne XF to the textile and keeps it from being washed off in the washing machine. A stable link between textile and Unidyne XF is achieved, providing outstanding water repellency and higher durability against home laundering and daily wear than existing fluorine-free repellents.
