This report analyses a number of concerns surrounding the use of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is widely employed in the production of water repellent textiles. The report highlights the development and use of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is at the heart of almost all of W L Gore’s proprietary processes. The report also provides profiles of rival products and technologies which are claimed to be environmentally friendly alternatives to PTFE, including Ekolab from Helly Hansen and SympaTex membranes from SympaTex.
