Environmental friendly and Durable Oil and water repellence finish on Technical Textiles (TEX-SHIELD)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
In the current market, the well-known brands of technical textiles are coated with Perfluorocarbon chemistry to possess highly durable oil and water repellent (OWR) finish. In early days, water repellent finish for fabrics was provided by simple paraffin or wax coatings which washed out eventually. Alternatively, PFOS and PFOA are the chemicals belonging to the family of perflourochemicals (PFCs) ...

Lightweight, long endurance body cooling for fire fighters (StayCool)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
There are about 500 000 professional fire fighters in the European Union (EU). When called to fight fires they can be exposed to high levels of heat stress, which results in decreased physical performance and even heat exhaustion. If a fire fighter succumbs to heat exhaustion he requires rescuing and this then exposes other fire fighters and the public to increased risk. In order to reduce the ris ...
