GTT x Hwasung International
US-based textile treatment specialist Green Theme Technologies (GTT) is broadening its water and PFAS-free finishing platform into the significant South Korean market through a partnership with functional textile manufacturer, Hwasung International.
Hwasung International will become the inaugural Korean mill to offer GTT’s advanced Empel brand of dry-finishing formulations. These formulations have undergone rigorous testing and certification to ensure they are entirely free of PFOA and PFOS chemicals, commonly known as PFASs, by Bureau Veritas.
The collaboration between Green Theme Technologies and Hwasung International signifies a milestone in promoting environmentally friendly textile treatments in South Korea. By introducing PFAS-free finishing solutions, both companies are contributing to the industry’s shift towards sustainable and safer manufacturing practices.
