FluoroGuard is a blended polytetrafluoroethylene(
Teflon ) related finish for fine carpets and some fabrics and wallcoverings. It is applied
using either an aqueous or water based carrier or a solvent. The water based system cannot
be applied to some fabrics so testing is essential before application. A
particular advantage of FluoroGuard is that it has superior resistance to oil based spills
with improved surface tension and beading of spills.
Another advantage of FluoroGuard is improvement in the wear ability of fabrics and
carpeting. The treatment actually reduces the friction of use extending the life and duty
of a given application.
The treatment can be applied before installation on bulk goods or after
installation. It is safe for most fabrics but should be pre-tested to insure compatibility
with the dyes and materials.
FluoroGuard will dry to the touch in two to four hours and will fully cure in 72
hours. Traffic should be curtailed during the first four hours until the product is fully
dry.
