Advanced Materials for a PFAS-free World
Breathable, Waterproof,
PFAS-Free.
PFAS-free By Design
PFAS set the performance standard, but safer alternatives have struggled to keep up. We’re developing a PFAS-free barrier material designed to maintain protection without relying on forever chemicals.
Breathable Waterproof Protection
Waterproof outerwear only works if it keeps water out without trapping heat in. Our PFAS-free moisture barrier designed to balance waterproof protection with the breathability needed for real-world wear.
Single Fabric Architecture
Instead of building performance through complex laminated systems, we’re developing one functional fabric that delivers the barrier properties brands need in a simpler material format.
From One Urgent Problem to a Bigger Materials Challenge
After learning about the problem of PFAS in firefighter gear, ArcticEdge began developing a new kind of breathable, waterproof moisture barrier.
Our mission has grown from one urgent use case into a broader materials challenge: building next-generation textiles for a world moving beyond PFAS.
Protection That Breathes
We’ve developed, built, and patented a PFAS-free fabric for applications where waterproofing, chemical resistance, durability, and breathability all have to work together.
Breathability as a core function
Our fabric is engineered to support heat and moisture transfer while maintaining barrier protection, helping reduce the trapped-in feeling common in protective layers.
Protection From
the Outside In
Designed to resist liquid penetration and hazardous exposure pathways while moving beyond persistent fluorinated chemistry.
One Fabric,
Multiple Jobs
Instead of stacking layers or spraying coatings onto fabric to force performance, we are building more function into a single fabric system.
Built to Integrate
Produced in roll format and developed with cut-and-sew, seam sealing, and protective apparel integration in mind.
Starting with FireFighting. Built for much more.
Firefighting Gear
Our first market, where the need is urgent and the standards are demanding.
Industrial PPE
Breathable waterproof protection for workers in harsh, wet, hot, or hazardous environments.
Outdoor & Rainwear
PFAS-free waterproof performance for jackets, shells, rainwear, and performance apparel.
Military and Tactical
Advanced textile systems for demanding field conditions where protection and comfort both matter.
CBRN & Chemical Protection
Barrier materials for protective systems where liquid and chemical resistance are critical.
Building and Technical Membranes
Longer-term opportunities in breathable waterproof barriers beyond apparel.
