HydroBarrier Pro™ is WSI's advanced non-fluorinated, PFAS-free water barrier engineered for industrial laundries that demand durability, compliance, and consistency. Using a heat-activated curing process, HydroBarrier Pro bonds to fibers—delivering reliable water repellency without fluorochemicals. Zero PFAS. Heat-Cured Performance. Built for Industrial Laundry.
Future-Ready Chemistry Without Compromise As PFAS and fluorochemicals face increasing regulation, laundries need alternatives that truly perform—not shortcuts. HydroBarrier Pro uses bio-based, non-fluorinated technology that is activated through proper heat curing, allowing the repellency to anchor to the textile surface for lasting effect.
“Heat curing isn't an extra step—it's what ensures consistent, durable repellency.”
HOW HYDROBARRIER PRO WORKS
HydroBarrier Pro is an aqueous-based, bio-derived formulation designed for use on textiles and nonwoven substrates.
Repellency is achieved through a controlled heat-cure process, which:
Activates the Bio-Based Resin Technology
Allows the Barrier to Bond Effectively to the Fabric
Ensures Optimal Water Resistance and Durability
Performance You Expect. Chemistry You Can Defend.
Proper curing conditions are required for optimal performance.
Application support provided by WSI.
HydroBarrier Pro is designed to integrate into professional laundry finishing workflows where heat curing is already standard—or easily supported.
WSI WORKS DIRECTLY WITH YOUR TEAM TO:
Verify Curing Conditions
Optimize Application Parameters
Ensure Consistent, Repeatable Performance
Cleaner chemistry doesn't mean lower performance—it means better engineering.
HydroBarrier Pro represents the next step in WSI's commitment to safer, smarter laundry chemistry.
Yes. HydroBarrier Pro is a completely non-fluorinated, PFAS-free formulation. It contains no per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances and meets the strictest regulatory definitions for PFAS-free chemistry.
HydroBarrier Pro uses a bio-based resin technology that is activated through a controlled heat-cure process. When properly cured, the treatment bonds to the textile surface to create a durable water-repellent barrier.
Heat curing is essential because it activates the bio-based resin and allows it to bond effectively to the fabric. Without proper curing, the repellency will not achieve optimal performance or durability.
If the fabric does not reach the required curing temperature for the specified duration, the water repellency may be reduced or inconsistent. WSI provides application support to help verify and optimize curing conditions.
In most cases, no. HydroBarrier Pro is designed to work with existing finishing equipment commonly found in industrial laundry operations, including standard dryers and finishing tunnels that reach the required curing temperatures.
HydroBarrier Pro delivers reliable water repellency for regulated textile programs. While fluorinated chemistries have historically offered broad repellency (including oil), HydroBarrier Pro focuses on water resistance with a safer chemistry profile.
Yes. HydroBarrier Pro contains no classified carcinogens, mutagens, or reproductive toxicants (CMRs). It is an aqueous-based formulation designed with operator safety in mind.
HydroBarrier Pro is formulated for use on a range of textiles and nonwoven substrates commonly found in industrial laundry programs, including healthcare linens, hospitality textiles, and workwear.
Yes. HydroBarrier Pro is bio-based, non-fluorinated, and free from persistent environmental contaminants. It supports sustainability goals by eliminating PFAS from the laundry process.
Absolutely. WSI works directly with your team to verify curing conditions, optimize application parameters, and ensure consistent, repeatable performance.
