FORMALDEHYDE-FREE
SOLUTIONS
NONWOVENS, SPECIALTY PAPER AND TEXTILES
Lubrizol offers a wide variety of polymers and custom-formulated solutions for nonwovens,
specialty paper and textile applications—including environmentally-friendly, NMP-free and
formaldehyde-free alternatives—to impart strength, durability, flame resistance, barrier
properties and more. Our formaldehyde-free portfolio consists of a broad line of technologies
in which formaldehyde is not known to be present in any of the raw materials used, nor
added as a preservative, nor generated during the curing process. Ultimately, this means
the formaldehyde level is below the detectable limit of 2 ppm.
