Free from fluorocarbons 禁用碳氟化合物

We have banned PFCs from our production

Have you ever noticed how water beads on a shell jacket, and then runs off? It is the jacket’s impregnation that makes this possible. However, the most durable and effective surface treatments contain perfluorinated chemicals known as PFCs. Fjällräven has from the summer collection of 2015 changed to PFC free impregnation of all products concerned. This has called for close cooperation with suppliers who produce water and dirt-repelling treatments, trims and accessories.

Since 2012 we have only used fluorocarbon-free impregnation in the production of our waterproof garments. Since 2015, all Fjällräven products on the market have fluorocarbon-free impregnation.

Re-impregnating fluorocarbon-free

As we have decided not to use this effective, yet environmentally harmful impregnation, you will need to re-impregnate your garment with a fluorocarbon-free treatment about every second time you wash it. So the impregnation needs to be renewed a little more often than before, but this is something that we at Fjällräven see as a reasonable compromise in exchange for avoiding spreading toxins in the environment.

Ask for a fluorocarbon-free impregnation spray in your outdoor store next time you visit. Some can be washed into the garments, and others are sprayed on.

我們禁止在生產中使用碳氟化合物(PFC)

您有沒有注意到外層外套上的水珠是甚麼型態，然後流走了？這是因為外套的浸漬。然而，最耐用和有效的表面處理包含稱為PFC的全氟化學品。 Fjällräven已從2015年夏季系列改為使用不含碳氟化合物(PFC-free)浸漬所有相關產品。這要求與生產防水防污處理，裝飾和配件的供應商密切合作。

自2012年起，我們只在生產防水服裝時使用了無碳氟化合物浸漬。自2015年起，市場上所有Fjällräven產品都採用無碳氟化合物浸漬。

使用不含碳氟化合物再次浸漬

由於我們決定不使用這種有效但對環境有害的浸漬，您需要在每兩次洗滌時使用不含碳氟化合物再次浸漬您的服飾。因此，浸漬需要比以前更頻繁地更新，但這是我們在Fjällräven視為一種合理的妥協方式，以避免在環境中傳播毒素。

下次到訪戶外服裝商店時，請購買不含碳氟化合物的浸漬噴霧劑。有些可以洗到衣服裡，有些可以噴在衣服上。
