Fluorine-free scope
The ZEODRY routes shown here are positioned for fluorine-free water-repellent finishing.
Ingredient brand / Fluorine-free
Water repellency,
developed by route.
ZEODRY organizes fluorine-free water-repellent finishing around the textile, process and required end use. The right grade is selected through application testing, not a universal performance promise.
What ZEODRY is
A fluorine-free ingredient brand.
ZEODRY sits within the DEZEO brand and sales system. It focuses on water-repellent finishing chemistry and related auxiliaries for textile processing, while product suitability remains grade-, substrate- and process-specific.
Application-led selection
Fabric construction, hand feel, durability, coating and downstream processing change the recommendation.
Supporting auxiliaries
Crosslinkers, softeners, antistatic and wetting agents support the finishing route where appropriate.
Controlled evidence
Current TDS, SDS and test evidence are supplied by product, region and document version.
Product manual: development routes
Start from the application need.
The grade names below summarize routes recorded in the ZEODRY product manual. They are not public performance guarantees; technical review and trials remain necessary.
Soft hand & reduced chalk marking
For projects where water repellency must be balanced with a softer touch and reduced visible hand marks.
S-005
S-005G
Line-dry durability route
A route developed around retained performance after laundering and line drying, subject to the specified fabric and process.
S-008
Strong repellency & heavy-rain direction
For projects targeting a higher surface water-repellency level under demanding exposure conditions.
C-03
S-009
Coating & lamination compatibility
For fabrics that continue into coating, bonding or lamination and therefore require adhesion compatibility review.
C-01
C-029
S-036
Slippage-control direction
Routes developed for projects concerned with seam slippage or fabric movement alongside repellency.
C-04
C-022
Anti-wicking treatment
For yarn, webbing and textile structures where capillary water migration is the primary problem.
H-X
H-XG
H-Y
H-T
Vegetable-oil repellency & soil resistance
A development route for selected projects requiring more than water repellency alone.
S-010
Higher bio-based content direction
Product development oriented toward increased bio-based content while maintaining application relevance.
S-069
S-030
General-purpose routes
Starting points for common textile finishing projects before substrate and process screening.
C-02
C-06G
C-08
C-05
Supporting chemistry
Build the finishing system.
A water-repellent grade may need compatible auxiliaries. Their use depends on the formulation, fabric, process and target.
LINK-01 / LINK-02
Supporting crosslinking routes for selected finishing systems.
ST-017 / ST-521
Hand-feel adjustment where compatibility has been evaluated.
AS-227 / PT-10
Antistatic and wetting support for applicable processing needs.
Trial preparation
The fabric defines the route.
Provide the original substrate and the real process window. ZEODRY selection is strongest when evaluation reproduces the intended production conditions.
Substrate and construction
Required
Fiber blend, weave or knit, weight, shade and prior finishing.
Application process
Required
Bath recipe, pickup, drying, curing and equipment limits.
Downstream operations
Critical when used
Coating, lamination, printing, washing or other later processes.
Test and market target
Define
Requested method, durability sequence, destination market and customer requirement.
Document control
Request the current version.
Product availability, specifications and supporting evidence can change by market and revision. Use the controlled document supplied for the exact grade under evaluation.
Professional terminology
ZEODRY products are described as solutions for water-repellent finishing. This should not be generalized as a waterproofing agent or interpreted as a waterproof fabric guarantee.
ZEODRY application review
Define the fabric before the grade.
Send the substrate, process, target test and downstream operations. The technical team can then propose a relevant starting route and trial plan.
