Substituting dry curing for traditional water-based techniques, these new textile production solutions greatly reduce water-borne pollution\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>

Albuquerque, New Mexico (For Immediate Release):\u00a0<\/strong>Green Theme Technologies<\/a>\u00a0(GTT), creators of the waterless and PFAS-free EMPEL\u00ae textile finishing platform, has teamed up with Golden Long John to promote the next generation of cleaner and more efficient fabric dye and finishing processes.\u00a0<\/p>

The textile manufacturing industry generates trillions of gallons of wastewater each year. Traditional textile dyeing and finishing rinses chemical dyes and water repellency onto fabrics. Post-production toxic water is then dumped into rivers and oceans.<\/p>

Last year, Golden Long John, a major textile supplier of the global footwear industry, introduced GTT\u2019s EMPEL\u00ae finishing platform in their Vietnam factories. Their partnership has led to the combination of their two industry leading technologies, the EMPEL\u00ae high performance water repellent finish and Golden Long John\u2019s direct dye process.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWe believe, Cleaner IS Better and this is a big step forward for the fashion and textile industries,\u201d said Martin Flora, President of GTT Business Development. \u201cSimilar to GTT\u2019s EMPEL\u00ae application, Golden Long John applies dye chemistry directly onto fabrics. Better performance with much less pollution is our vision for the future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

GTT and Golden Long John will showcase their innovations at the Functional Fabric Fair in Portland Or., on November 20th and 21st. Both companies are now enjoying steady growth from brands like Nike that need consistent and better performance while achieving their environmental goals.<\/p>

The waterless and PFAS-free EMPEL\u00ae N\u00f8-Wick\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0tech provides world\u2019s leading footwear fabric supplier with the highest performance sustainable solution<\/em><\/p>

Albuquerque, New Mexico (For Immediate Release):\u00a0<\/strong>In a big win for global sustainability and footwear performance initiatives,\u00a0<\/strong>Gold Long John, the world\u2019s leading innovative supplier of fabric to global footwear brands is applying\u00a0EMPEL<\/a>\u00ae N\u00f8-Wick\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0waterless and PFAS-free finishing platform in their Vietnam mill supply chain.\u00a0<\/p>

The EMPEL\u00ae N\u00f8-Wick\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0product stands apart by preventing wicking more effectively than any competing chemistry while remaining 100% water-free and PFAS-free. The adoption by top footwear fabric supplier Gold Long John is instrumental in creating sustainable, high performing footwear for many leading footwear brands around the world.<\/p>

\u201cOur Oeko Tex-certified EMPEL\u00ae platform is a solution for the future,\u201d said Martin Flora, President of Global Business Development with GTT. \u201cIt creates the highest performing finishes available, all without the use of water or PFAS chemicals.\u00a0 Gold Long John was our first major footwear mill adopter in Asia and has been instrumental in providing the commercial readiness needed for major footwear brands to easily adopt EMPEL\u00ae N\u00f8-Wick\u2122<\/sup>.\u00a0 Because of their contribution and input, we\u2019re now able to scale our clean chemistry throughout SE Asia and make a real difference in the fight against water, carbon and chemical pollution, all while providing the world\u2019s best performance.\u201d<\/p>

Gold Long John is known as a market leader and innovator in the production of performance footwear fabrics and was the first major footwear mill that helped GTT commercialize EMPEL\u00ae. In 2023, Gold Long John installed the EMPEL\u00ae proprietary production machinery in their Vietnam factory and is now moving forward with plans to install machinery in their Taiwan facility.\u00a0The proprietary machinery changes the way in which anti-wicking chemistries are molecularly bonded to footwear, protecting them from inclement weather.<\/p>

\u201cGreen Theme and their EMPEL\u00ae products will help us stay at the forefront of global sustainability solutions, allowing us to supply our footwear brands with highly innovative, cleaner, better performing materials for their products,\u201d said Kevin Wen, President of Gold Long John. \u201cWe see this as a win for us, for our partner brands, and for global environmental sustainability efforts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

EMPEL\u00ae N\u00f8-WickTM challenges the market perception that cleaner manufacturing processes mean loss of performance. The opposite is true, as efficient manufacturing performs better, reduces waste, and lasts longer.\u00a0The benefits are obvious.\u00a0<\/p>

Known for industry-leading textiles and technologies, Hwasung International leverages EMPEL<\/em>\u00ae\u00a0to increase sustainability and performance\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

Albuquerque, New Mexico (For Immediate Release):\u00a0<\/strong>Green Theme Technologies, suppliers of the\u00a0\u00a0EMPEL<\/a>\u00ae water-free and PFAS-free textile finishing platform, continues a trajectory of exponential growth by partnering with Korean-based global textile innovator\u00a0Hwasung International<\/a>. Hwasung is the first Korean mill to offer the EMPEL\u00ae high performance technology to global footwear brands and regional Korean mill customers.\u00a0<\/p>

Known globally for providing high performance textiles that incorporate functional yarns such as Dyneema, Kevlar and Cordura, Hwasung will now broaden their high performance and sustainable offerings by scaling EMPEL into their global supply chain.<\/p>

\u201cTraditionally, the use of sustainable textile finishes such as water repellency, anti-wick, and stain release meant a loss of performance. Not anymore,\u201d said Martin Flora, President of Global Business Development with GTT. \u201cForward thinking textile suppliers such as Hwasung have now realized that EMPEL\u00ae not only increases sustainability, but also increases performance, creating a win-win for producers, their partner brands, and the environment.\u201d<\/p>

Green Theme\u2019s EMPEL\u00ae platform can be applied successfully to a wide range of synthetic knit, woven, non-woven and novel fabrics that are traditionally hard to treat. The diverse list of EMPEL\u00ae markets include: Outdoor, High Fashion, Footwear, Automotive, Furniture, Workwear, Athleisure Wear and Military. Because no water is used during the treatment application, EMPEL\u00ae can remove pollution and waste from any textile manufacturing process.<\/p>

DK LEE, the President of Hwasung International says, \u201cEMPEL\u00ae finishes complement their remarkable textiles which combine sustainability and innovation into unique commercial textile solutions.\u201d<\/p>

With partners like Hwasung helping to scale the EMPEL\u00ae platform, Green Theme is well positioned at the forefront of the fight against water pollution from textiles and the elimination of PFAS chemicals from global supply chains.<\/p>

The new DynaPel\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0zipper uses GTT EMPEL<\/em>\u00ae\u00a0technology to eliminate the need for a PU film<\/em><\/p>

Atlanta, GA (Nov 16, 2023) \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0YKK announces the release of its new DynaPel\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0water-repellant zipper featuring GTT EMPEL\u00ae technology. Designed to be compatible with garment recycling systems, DynaPel\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0uses EMPEL\u00ae technology instead of the standard PU film to achieve its water repellency. The lack of a PU film helps remove one of the barriers of textile-to-textile recycling of performance apparel by eliminating the urethane material, which presents challenges to garment recycling processes.<\/p>

\u201cDynaPel\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0is a valuable addition to our growing collection of fasteners designed for circular systems,\u201d said Terry Tsukumo, Vice President, Product Strategy Division, Global Sales Headquarters, YKK Corporation. \u201cBy employing EMPEL\u00ae technology, we can achieve the robust water protection expected from YKK\u00ae products while eliminating the challenges that PU poses to recycling systems.\u201d<\/p>

Conventional chemical and mechanical garment recycling systems cannot process the polyurethane film commonly used on water-repellent zippers, necessitating the removal of zippers from garments before recycling.\u00a0 This additional processing step often deters recyclers from accepting garments with PU zippers, resulting in unnecessary waste.<\/p>

EMPEL\u00ae technology uses advanced green chemistry devoid of PFAS and a specialized manufacturing process that allows the chemistry to penetrate the yarn and encapsulate it with a water-repellent layer through molecular cross-linking. The molecular cross-linking creates an extremely durable layer that is highly resistant to abrasion and invisible to the eye.<\/p>

\u201cDynaPel\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0represents a new generation of sustainable, high-performance water-repellant zippers,\u201d stated Tsukumo. \u201cIt is the future of water protection for zippers.\u201d<\/p>

DynaPel\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0zippers will be showcased at the upcoming Outdoor Retailer trade show in Salt Lake City and the ISPO trade fair in Munich, Germany. Notably, DynaPel\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0has been nominated for the Best New Product Award in the ISPO Textrends competition held at ISPO.<\/p>

Green Theme Technologies<\/a>\u00a0(GTT), creators of the PFAS-free and waterless\u00a0EMPEL<\/a>\u00a0textile finishing platform, is rendering current PFAS-containing C6 and water based C\u00f8 water repellent finishes obsolete. Cleaner, more durable, and better performing, EMPEL is the best option for the environment and consumer brands.\u00a0<\/p>

Recent competitive product testing by\u00a0The Haartz Corporation<\/a>\u00a0showed how textiles treated with the EMPEL water repellent technology absorbed about \u2153 the amount of water compared to the best C\u00f8 and C6 water repellent market solutions. Equally impressive, EMPEL kept water from passing through the fabrics WITHOUT the use of a membrane. Using the same woven textiles for testing in a ten-minute rain test,\u00a0only 2mL<\/strong>\u00a0of water passed through the EMPEL treated fabrics compared to 325mL from the C\u00f8 and C6 competition.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWe have a product that will revolutionize what consumers can expect from their clothing.\u00a0 Brands and Mills can now make fabrics that protect people from the elements without using hot and stiff rain jackets with membranes,\u201d said Martin Flora, VP of Business Development for GTT. \u201cEMPEL keeps the fabric dry on the surface and keeps the water on the outside of your clothing and shoes. Add in our 50+ wash durability, and you have a product that will allow people to keep their gear much longer without buying new replacements. The most sustainable products use safe chemistry (PFAS -Free) and work for many years in the future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Haartz is a global leader in highly engineered and uniquely designed textile materials in a variety of markets, including home furnishings, automotive textiles, military materials and footwear fabrics.\u00a0 Their expertise in R&D and commercialization of new products gave them the ability to prove the efficacy of EMPEL with excellent internal testing capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cEMPEL delivers the best performance without the use of forever chemicals or water. We have installed the machinery and commercialized the process as we continue to explore applications for EMPEL,\u201d Matt Williams the VP at Haartz confirmed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Collaboration reduces environmental impacts and improves product performance \u00a0across apparel, furniture and automotive markets\u00a0<\/p>

Acton, Massachusetts, September 9, 2022 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The Haartz Corporation<\/a>, the global leader in highly \u00a0engineered and uniquely designed textile materials and Green Theme Technologies Inc. (GTT), a \u00a0leader in waterless and PFAS-free textile finishing, today announced a partnership to revolutionize \u00a0<\/p>

how textiles are finished in the United States. The first of its kind in the North American market, GTT\u2019s \u00a0PFAS-free and waterless EMPEL\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0textile finishing platform eliminates harmful chemicals from all \u00a0levels of textile finishing without the use of water, all while providing best-in-class performance. \u00a0<\/p>

Developed by GTT, the EMPEL platform can apply a wide variety of finishes, including Durable Water \u00a0Repellent, Anti-Wicking, Durable Stain Release and more to an almost limitless number of textiles. \u00a0EMPEL uses sustainable \u201cclean chemistry\u201d to eliminate contamination by per- and polyfluoroalkyl \u00a0substances (PFAS) during the textile manufacturing process through a waterless process.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cHaartz is the perfect partner for GTT,\u201d said Martin Flora, VP of Business Development for GTT. \u201cThey \u00a0are world leaders in scaling finished fabric technologies through world-class manufacturing and \u00a0testing facilities. With their various product categories, including apparel, furniture and automotive, our \u00a0partnership brings textile innovation to North America and helps drive a positive and sizable \u00a0environmental impact.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>

Independent tests conducted by Bureau Veritas and Okeotex confirm EMPEL uses a nontoxic and\u00a0 water-free hydrocarbon monomer solution that is polymerized when applied to fabrics, wrapping each\u00a0 individual yarn with a high-performance finish. Testing reveals EMPEL outperforms existing C0 and\u00a0 C6 fluorocarbon water repellent options, producing a protective finish that lasts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

As PFAS bans accelerate across the country and around the world, forward thinking brands like\u00a0 Haartz are taking the lead to adopt high performance and sustainable solutions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Performance apparel brands such as Black Diamond, TREW Gear, Stoney Creek, and Artilect are \u00a0currently selling apparel products that use EMPEL. Haartz holds the only US license for the EMPEL \u00a0process and plans to scale production with several household brands.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cEMPEL presents endless possibilities for the future of textile manufacturing, with applications ranging \u00a0from clothing to furniture and beyond,\u201d said Matt Williams, Vice President Vice President, Global \u00a0Automotive Exteriors & New Markets at Haartz. \u201cWe continually push our manufacturing boundaries to \u00a0bring the cleanest, highest performance products to market. Just as we have done throughout our \u00a0long history serving automotive markets, we\u2019re approaching this unique problem with a unique \u00a0sustainable solution and we\u2019re looking forward to bringing this new enhanced technology with a lower \u00a0carbon footprint to US manufacturing.\u201d\u00a0To see GTT\u2019s durable water repellent performance in action, please click\u00a0HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Green Theme\u2019s water free technology removes PFAS and other harmful\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>chemicals from textile manufacturing to provide better performance with\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>less pollution<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

Albuquerque, New Mexico (For Immediate Release):\u00a0<\/strong>Green Theme Technologies Inc (GTT),\u00a0 the global leader in water-free and PFAS-free textile finishing, is proud to announce $5.4 million dollars raised in its series B2 financing.\u00a0<\/p>

This influx of capital will be used to grow GTT\u2019s revolutionary water-free EMPEL\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0performance technologies, which now include the best durable water repellent (DWR) finish\u00a0 in the market, stain protection, a new technology to keep footwear dry, and the ongoing joint\u00a0 development of water-free dye (WFD) with market leading mill and brand partners. The\u00a0 unique technology uniformly fuses PFAS-free chemistries to each fiber in a fabric. EMPEL\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0 treated fabrics far exceed the performance of other competitive C0 and C6 products in the\u00a0 market.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWe are very pleased with the engaged support from a knowledgeable investment team like\u00a0 Cottonwood Technology Fund that understands GTT technology and wants to create\u00a0 solutions for the growing environmental pollution created by textile manufacturing,\u201d said\u00a0 Martin Flora, VP of Business Development with GTT. \u201cLegislation like the recent California Bill\u00a0 (AB 1817) signed into law last month banning PFAS chemistries in textiles by 2025 are driving\u00a0 mills and brands to adopt the GTT EMPEL\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0solution more rapidly. In addition to legislative\u00a0 pressure, textile manufacturers and apparel brands are starting to realize that inefficient\u00a0 traditional water-based textile dyeing and finishing methods are extremely wasteful in\u00a0 energy, create huge amounts of water pollution, remediation costs and deliver inferior\u00a0 performance compared to GTT\u2019s EMPEL\u00a0\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0water-free processes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

The lead investor in the series B2 round; Cottonwood Technology Fund focuses on disruptive\u00a0 science-based inventions. \u201cCottonwood invests in hard science and deep tech start-ups that\u00a0 are poised to disrupt large markets,\u201d said David Blivin, Managing Partner with Cottonwood.\u00a0 \u201cWe see real opportunity with Green Theme to become the new global industry standard for\u00a0 high performance, low impact textile finishing, which is why we are proud to invest in them.\u201d<\/p>

GTT also has the support from other expert investment groups like Phoenix Venture Partners that targets advanced material science technologies and Safer Made focused on cleaner chemistry technologies to bring safer products to the market.\u00a0<\/p>

The fast-growing textile and fashion industries are currently the second largest water\u00a0 polluters on Earth and Green Theme\u2019s business model intends to change that. By replacing\u00a0 traditional water-based wet textile finishing processes with efficient and water-free and PFAS\u00a0 -free EMPEL technology, GTT and their licensing partners are directly reducing the amount of\u00a0 water pollution in the world. The result is cleaner, better performing, and more sustainable\u00a0 textile products.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Better for the environment and for product performance, Green Theme\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>EMPEL<\/em>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0<\/em>platform is redefining the standard in PFAS-free anti-wicking technologies\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

Albuquerque (For Immediate Release):\u00a0<\/strong>Green Theme Technologies Inc (GTT), the global leader in waterless and PFAS-free textile finishes, provides high performance, best in class solutions to keep footwear dry. As PFAS bans accelerate across dozens of states and in several European countries, GTT is the only brand able to exceed current performance standards while eliminating PFAS from footwear production.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cGreen Theme Technology is at the forefront of apparel, footwear, and textile innovation, not just because they are utilizing better chemistry, but because of how they are applying it,\u201d said John Frazier, Senior Technical Director with the Hohenstein Institute. GTT\u2019s EMPEL is applied using a waterless and PFAS-free technology that drives the chemistry into the fabric increasing the performance and durability. GTT\u2019s EMPEL has also worked with Hohenstein to attain OEKO-TEX\u00ae ECO PASSPORT certification.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Recently tested and certified as PFAS-free by Bureau Veritas, EMPEL uses no \u201cforever chemicals\u201d in their chemistry, yet still achieves the best water repellent and anti-wicking fabric protection available.\u00a0<\/p>

Shoes protect the wearer from the wet, dirty ground and therefore demand exceptional performance and durability. Independent testing reveals that GTT\u2019s new anti-wicking tech for shoes outperforms current industry standards for dryness, durability and stain protection, beating all current C6 and C0 treatments.\u00a0<\/p>

GTT is currently working with several global footwear brands in the sport and outdoor markets who are seeking superior anti-wicking, stain protection and sustainable performance. Internal evaluation by these brands is delivering outstanding results and footwear featuring the EMPEL anti-wicking tech will be available to the public in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>

ARTILECT\u2019s new for FW22 Silverton Shell was recently awarded the Slide x OTS 2022 Winter Trade Show Award for Best Softshell, and the Formation 3L Shell being recognized by\u00a0Outside Business Journal\u00a0<\/em>as one of the Top 50 hottest new products for Fall\/Winter 2022.<\/p>

\u201cArtilect understands how consumers now demand high performance AND sustainability. Their jackets combine gifted aesthetic functional design with superior EMPEL rain protection to make exceptional products,\u201d said Martin Flora, VP of Business Development with GTT. \u201cThe problem with many PFAS-free water repellent finishes in the market,\u00a0 they don\u2019t hold up in the rain.\u00a0 Our EMPEL platform is unique: it outperforms all existing water-repellent technologies, lasts longer and removes toxic PFAS from textile finishing.\u201d<\/p>

EMPEL currently delivers the highest performance water repellent DWR, anti-wicking and stain release treatment in the global market, and ARTILECT is using the EMPEL DWR on several of their newest pieces.<\/p>

\u201cThe FW22 ARTILECT Systems collection demonstrates our obsession with the future of performance and sustainability, and we\u2019re introducing an array of groundbreaking, world-first technologies from many of the biggest and most innovative suppliers,\u201d said ARTILECT founder and co-CEO, Trent Bush. \u201cWe are also very proud to be one of the first performance apparel brands to be completely PFA\/PFC free in our fabrics.\u201d<\/p>

US-based Green Theme Technologies (GTT), a maker of a \u2018clean\u2019 water-repellent textile finishing processes, has raised $3.5 million in a Series B fundraising.<\/p>

Series B rounds help businesses to scale up their technologies; GTT will use the money to grow its platforms, hire employees and support licensing partners.<\/p>

Its Empel process uses thermal curing to create a molecular covalent bond between monomers and the fibres in fabrics treated with its \u201cClean Chemistry\u201d. When exposed to heat, a molecular bonding and polymerisation occurs.<\/p>

Jordan Clancy, chief financial officer at GTT, said: \u201cWe are pleased with our fundraising performance and will use the Series B funding to develop and commercialise our platform technologies, including a DWR finish and our water-free dye product.<\/p>

\u201cWithin the next six months we will double our headcount in New Mexico, expanding our team to support commercialisation, licensees and accelerate revenue growth.\u201d<\/p>
