Clariant Expands Capacity to Produce its C6-Fluorochemicals

Clariant, a producer of fabric repellency treatments, has increased its capacity to produce next-generation fluorochemicals at its plant in Gendorf, Germany.

With an investment of €8 million supporting C6 chemistries, the plant will support new lines of Nuva products and expand options for customers who are increasingly making the switch from traditional C8 products.

In support of these stewardship commitments Clariant fully reviewed Nuva polymer range and the highly effective repellency treatments manufactured by established C8 chemistry. The development of replacement products with high levels of efficacy and improved environmental profiles took high priority. These efforts resulted in the development of Nuva N. This advanced C6-based fluorochemical for sustainable repellency and release solutions is free from PFOA and allows comparable performance to the established C8 chemistry.

In addition to increasing C6 production capacity in Germany, the company is now introducing Nuva N1811 as the latest cost-competitive addition to this range, with similar performance to existing C6 products.
