Webinar on alternatives to PFAS in industrial coatings
Increasing regulatory pressure on perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), both in Europe and internationally, is accelerating the transition to safer, sustainable and scalable alternatives. This change poses a significant challenge to sectors where properties such as non-stick, repellency and chemical resistance are essential, but it also opens up a clear opportunity for technological innovation.
In this webinar, AIAS, Ramboll and TECNALIA will present new PFAS-free technological solutions that maintain and even improve the performance of conventional coatings, with applications in sectors such as food processing, packaging, textile, glass and construction, chemical industry (formulators and applicators), and other industrial applications.
PFAS-free functional coatings
Advanced solutions developed by TECNALIA will be shared during the session, such as:
- PFAS free sol-gel hybrid coatings:
- With non-stick properties and easy to clean
- High chemical and wear resistance
- Excellent thermal performance
- Compatibility with multiple substrates (glass, aluminium, stainless steel, etc.)
- Water-based bio-based acrylic coatings (PFAS-free), which offer:
- Simultaneous water and oil repellency through safer alternatives
- Developed following eco-design criteria
- Applicability as functional coatings and binders
- Compatibility with paper, textiles, plastics, wood and metal
- Special interest in technical textile applications and packaging
This webinar will offer a practical overview of the regulatory context, industry challenges and available solutions, as well as real application examples and experimental results.
