Devan Repel: How it Works

Devan Repel One is a water-repellent technology that’s free from perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and isocyanates. It protects textiles from water by ensuring that water beads up and rolls off the surface. This cost-efficient solution offers superior water repellency on synthetics, especially polyester (PES) fibers and their blends.  

The Science Behind It

Lower surface free energy means higher repellency potential. Devan Repel One lowers the surface energy to repel water effectively.  

Boosting Performance

Devan Extender GEN3 is a sustainable extender that can further enhance the repellency effect on all kinds of fibers. It’s free of harmful chemicals and meets industry standards for wash durability.
