"Fluorochemicals are the key ingredients in daily products like stain-resistant pants and non-stick cookware. However, fluorochemicals have also been found to be bio-accumulative in living beings and persistent in the environment. GreenShield™ engineered by G3i combines nanoparticles and fluorochemicals at the nanoscale to create a better stain-resist coating with up to ten times less flourochemical usage. The GreenShield™ product is also antimicrobial and antibacterial without leaching harmful chemistries into the environment." (adapted from company press release)
