Lasting bond. Stays put.
FUZE F1 is a proprietary metamaterial that attaches to compatible substrates. Once applied, it is designed to remain bonded and deliver treated-article benefits: odor control on the treated article, faster moisture evaporation, UV protection for fibers, and resistance to mold, mildew, fungus, and staining.
The mechanism
A simple protection process
FUZE F1 creates a bonded protection layer through a repeatable process developed for compatible textile and hard-surface substrates.
- Application
- Light mist of 0.1–0.5% FUZE solution applied via tenter frame, exhaust, padding, or spray
- Adhesion
- Bonds to fiber or surface using electrostatic and van der Waals forces in under 60 seconds
- Activation
- Minerals form a micro-structured shield across the entire surface area
- Neutralization
- Provides contact-based treated-article performance without relying on chemical release
The non-ionic advantage
Why bonded technology matters
Conventional migrating treatments can lose performance during repeated washing. FUZE's metamaterial stays bonded to the treated article and does not rely on migration into the surrounding environment.
| Issue | FUZE F1 | Migrating treatments |
|---|---|---|
| Leaching | Non-migratory | May migrate, depending on chemistry |
| Performance mechanism | Does not rely on migration | Varies by chemistry |
| Water Pollution | PFAS-free; stays bonded | May require wastewater controls |
| Skin Irritation | OEKO-TEX® Class I support | Varies by chemistry and substrate |

Technology FAQ
-
Can FUZE be used for skin-contact textile applications?
FUZE is supported by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I testing for skin-contact textile applications.
-
Does FUZE leach into wash water?
FUZE is designed as a metamaterial that bonds to the treated article and does not rely on migration for performance.
-
Can treated fabrics be recycled?
Recyclability depends on the underlying textile, product construction, and available local recycling stream.
