Fiber-Shield Industries New California DTSC-Compliant Formulas

Fiber-Shield Industries, Inc. has fulfilled the need for USA made professional-grade textile soil and stain repellents for over four decades. Independently tested and confirmed to have no PFOS, PFOA, or PFAAS, the company has maintained environmental compliance while maintaining the highest possible performance.

This new California-compliant series of textile repellents both in solvent and water-based formulas is where the company remains ahead of the development curve. The products contain conforming polymer additives that perform better than other products on the market while continuing to maintain PFAAS-free formulations.
