PFC (perfluorocarbons) are a group of chemical substances. They consist of organic chemical compounds from the halogenoalkane group, in which all hydrogen atoms have been replaced by fluorine atoms. Fluorocarbons and perfluorocarbons are known for their negative impact on the environment. PFC chemical compounds are used in the textile industry for their effectiveness in providing protection against water and stains.
DURING THE PRODUCTION PROCESS OF OUR FABRICS, WE DO NOT ADD PFC
PFC compounds are harmful to the environment as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere in gaseous form and cause global warming. Scientific research estimates that they have a global warming potential 6500–9200 times higher than carbon dioxide. They are colorless and odorless, thus making them difficult to detect without specialized equipment.
We place the highest importance on ensuring the safety and quality of our fabrics. For this reason, every year we subject our products to rigorous tests to earn the prestigious Oeko-Tex® certificate. This is confirmation of our ongoing commitment to providing materials that are tested and safe for use, which is the foundation of our business philosophy
The assurance that the products are free from harmful substances such as pesticides and heavy metals is not just a promise, but the result of rigorous testing.
Materials with this quality mark have undergone meticulous testing, confirming that they do not contain toxic compounds above established limits. This ensures that we invest in responsible, safe, and environmentally friendly products for both us and nature.
YES, we can significantly reduce water consumption during the production process of polyester fabrics. This process involves adding the dye to the polymer, which is most commonly in granulate form. During this process, colored yarn is produced, from which upholstery fabric is then made. This way, we bypass the environmentally costly process of dyeing and finishing fabrics in solutions. We reduce water usage and the production of wastewater contaminated with chemical waste.
WATER-FREE FABRIC PRODUCTION PROCESS
It has been determined that solution-dyed fabrics not only reduce environmental costs but also have better performance characteristics than conventionally produced fabrics. Notably, they exhibit much greater resistance to washing and sunlight. Guarantee of color consistency
THE FABRIC PRODUCTION PROCESS USING WATER
In response to the emergence of fabrics in the industry with a hydrophobic effect – WATER REPELLENT, often achieved by using potentially harmful chemical agents containing PFC, we offer an alternative – OA SOFA PROTECTOR. Our solution creates an invisible, waterproof barrier, ensuring protection without compromising health. We have replaced PFC with safe, biodegradable ingredients. We have added additional properties, such as nanosilver and sulfur compounds, to ensure long-lasting freshness and sanitary quality.
Maintaining a sofa in impeccable condition, even in the case of stains, is now easier than ever. Our OA brand products are widely available and easy to purchase – both on leading e-commerce platforms, in our authorized online store, and from reputable distributors, where with every purchased piece of furniture, complete care sets are offered to ensure its long-lasting beauty and functionality.
