Durability is the foundation of sustainability. Every PolyCore coating is carefully engineered to extend the life of fabrics by resisting abrasion, tearing, and water damage through years of use. When products last longer, fewer need to be replaced. This reduces waste and lowers the environmental impact across the entire supply chain.

Solvent-based coatings remain the industry norm in textile finishing. They are widely used for coating, laminating, printing, and equipment cleaning. These CMR solvents, which are carcinogenic, mutagenic, and reprotoxic, act as carriers that help disperse other chemicals. As the solution dries, the solvent evaporates into the air as a volatile organic compound, or VOC.

VOCs are a major source of air pollution and create serious health risks for factory workers. They also contribute to climate change, with an average global warming potential that is 11 times that of carbon dioxide.

PolyCore coatings take a completely different approach. Our waterborne formulations release only water vapor during drying, eliminating CMR solvents, PFAS, and other harmful chemicals. This clean chemistry protects both people and the planet while still delivering exceptional performance.

PolyCore and our supply chain are certified under GRS, which validates the recycled content of our fabrics and upholds high standards for human and labor rights.

Additionally, all of our chemicals are procured from a Bluesign® System Partner, Synthetizer. We adhere to the Bluesign® Restricted Substances List to ensure the highest safety and sustainability standards.
