Learning from Nature. HeiQ Eco Dry is inspired by nature by imitating the efficiency of a duck’s feathery coat. Just as duck feathers achieve natural water repellency through microscopic surface structure modification, fabrics and footwear materials treated with HeiQ Eco Dry are kept dry because water droplets simply roll off the fabric.
49% of consumers of water repellent products think it is important that their items are made of environmentally friendly materials and are PFC-free*. With HeiQ Eco Dry, you can provide your customers with DWR technology without harmful fluorine.
HeiQ Eco Dry is:
• High performing, sustainable and durable water repellency
• No fluorine: No PFOA, no PFOS
• Exceptional efficiency and durability (100% DWR performance up to 50 washings depending on fiber type)
• Compliant with EU REACH, US TSCA, AU AICS, Cn IECSC, KR KECL, ZDHC and most RSL regulations
• bluesign® approved and OEKO-TEX® conform
• Preserves perfect breathability and soft hand feel

New products in the HeiQ Eco Dry family are durable to dry cleaning and therefore suitable for fashion coats and jackets made of luxury fiber. A larger variety of products, ranging from footwear to outdoor to fashion, can now be offered with fluorine-free DWR.
