PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are synthetic chemicals used for water and stain resistance in textiles — commonly in outdoor and performance fabrics. The EU is phasing out PFAS under REACH due to health and environmental concerns. PFAS-free alternatives are a growing requirement for European buyers.
