WHAT MAKES
TEXPEL SPLASH
ECO?
Texpel™ Splash Eco was developed to offer an eco-conscious waterproof fi nish,
completely free of PFAS (per- and poly-fl uoroalkylated substance). PFAS coatings
have historically been used in waterproof garments for their long-lasting water
and dirt repellent qualities but are known to be harmful as they persist in the
environment. Texpel Eco was developed to remove these environmentally
harmful PFAS, but not compromise product performance or longevity.
After extensive wear trials, our team have developed Texpel
Eco splash, which offers the same exceptional water and dirt
repellence as traditional water resistant treatments, keeping
wearers dry and comfortable whilst being kinder to the
environment.
PORTWEST EXTREME™, RIPSHELL™, INSULATEX™ AND TEXPEL™ ARE TRADEMARKS OF PORTWEST®.
