How to formulate scratch and abrasion-resistant coatings using PFAS-free Calyshield™ Lubricants

Current trends in the coating industry focus on delivering surfaces that combine high scratch and abrasion resistance with a smooth touch and long-lasting durability. At the same time, the phase-out of PFAS is forcing the industry to rethink traditional lubrication and slip solutions, often at the expense of the high performance previously offered by PFAS.

This webinar addresses these challenges by introducing Calyshield™, a new generation of PFAS-free encapsulated lubricants designed to provide scratch- and abrasion resistance in coatings while offering long-lasting lubrication. By encapsulating lubricants within polymeric microcapsules, Calyshield™ enables controlled release under mechanical stress, ensuring sustained and long-lasting performance.

Attendees will discover how encapsulation technology can improve surface durability, reduce friction, and preserve aesthetic properties without compromising formulation freedom or compliance with future regulations. Real application insights for coatings, including leather and textile finishes, will illustrate how Calyshield™ can be integrated into existing systems to deliver robust, next-generation surface performance.
