ASAHI GUARD® has very low surface tension, which ensures that oils, dirt and water bead, rather than soak into the material.
ASAHIGUARD® can be applied to all kinds of materials such as fabrics, paper, leather, carpet and many others.
ASAHI GUARD® is also used in food packaging such as food-wrapping materials, containers, trays and greaseproof paper. It protects upholstery, carpets, seats and linen, as well as umbrellas, hats, gloves, ties, handbags, luggage, shoes, sportswear, uniforms and surgical gowns.
ASAHI GUARD® is a top choice for heavy-duty water repellency on filters, partitions and tents.
AsahiGuard® offers the outstanding features of a fluorinated water and oil repellent finishing agent. AGC began distributing AsahiGuard® products for textiles and paper in 1971 and 1978 respectively. Its high performance over the past 35 years has made it the trusted brand it is today.
The fluorinated water and oil repellent agent, AsahiGuard®, is sold in more than 30 countries. Customers have used AsahiGuard® products as finishing agents not only for textiles, but also for paper, non-woven fabrics and leather. AsahiGuard® offers the features of a fluorinated water and oil repellent finishing agent that cannot be obtained with the use of paraffin or silicone.
AGC is committed to meet the desire for future generation products. AGC launched the AsahiGuard® E-SERIES in February 2006 which are products offering the same high performance characteristics as the existing product line, but without any perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), longer chain length-perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) or their precursors.
