Devan Chemicals Launches Revolutionary Sustainable Technology to Protect Textiles from Stains

Devan Chemicals, based in Ronse, Belgium, has recently introduced a new sustainable technology that utilizes biobased content to target stains on textiles. The Devan Stain Release textile finishing solution is designed to prevent water- and oil-based stains from adhering deeply to fibers, making it easier to remove stains from the surface. This innovative technology combines both stain release and wicking properties to effectively protect textiles.

The solution is particularly suitable 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 while also contributing to the longevity of fabrics by reducing the frequency of washing.

Dr. Roberto Teixeira, chief technology officer at Devan Chemicals, stated, “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 empowering consumers to enjoy their textiles with peace of mind, knowing they are safeguarded against everyday spills and accidents.” The goal is to encourage a more sustainable consumption cycle by extending the life of textiles and reducing the environmental impact of frequent washing.
