Title: Nanize's PFAS-Free Coating Technology: Manufacturers Prepare for Changing Global Requirements

North Vancouver, BC, Canada, 26th Sep 2026 - For decades, PFAS chemistries have been used in industrial and consumer applications where water repellency, grease resistance, low friction and easy-clean performance are important. Increasing regulatory scrutiny and environmental concerns surrounding persistent PFAS substances are now encouraging manufacturers to evaluate alternative surface technologies.For manufacturers, however, replacing an established coating chemistry involves more than removing a particular class of substances. Any alternative must satisfy the technical, processing, durability and economic requirements of the intended application.Nanize has developed PFAS-free polysilazane-based coating technologies with these manufacturing requirements in mind.Nanize's solution focuses on polysilazane formulations and curing processes intended to produce durable, low-friction, anti-soiling and easy-clean surfaces while supporting practical manufacturing conditions.The company has conducted extensive FTIR-based development and characterization work to study curing behavior, cross-linking and formulation performance. This testing program is being used to refine the chemistry and establish appropriate processing conditions for different substrates and applications.Regulatory pressure surrounding PFAS continues to increase internationally.Within the European Union, PFAS substances are receiving increased regulatory attention through several legislative and regulatory initiatives, including restrictions affecting selected applications and the broader PFAS restriction proposal being evaluated under REACH.In the United States, federal and state authorities have also introduced measures affecting specific PFAS uses, including applications involving food-contact materials.Th...
