Devan Chemicals, based in Ronse, Belgium, is excited to introduce a new sustainable technology that targets stains on textiles. The Devan Stain Release textile finishing solution is free from PFCs and uses biobased content to prevent water- and oil-based stains from deeply sticking to fibers. This innovative technology provides both stain release and wicking properties to effectively protect textiles.

The solution is ideal for cotton and cotton blends but can also enhance the performance of synthetic materials. It can be used across a range of textile categories such as home textiles, bedding accessories, mattress ticking, school uniforms, garments, workwear, and apparel. Devan Stain Release is a ready-to-use product that contains 40% bio-based content, eliminating the need for mixing different products. This simplifies the application process and contributes to the longevity of fabrics by reducing frequent washing.

Dr. Roberto Teixeira, chief technology officer at Devan Chemicals, commented on the new technology: “Our team has worked tirelessly to create a solution that not only provides exceptional stain release but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability. By offering protection against both water- and oil-based stains, we are giving consumers peace of mind when it comes to their textiles.” The goal is to encourage a more sustainable consumption cycle by prolonging the life of textiles and reducing the environmental impact of frequent washing.
