What is Teflon® fabric protector?
 Teflon® fabric protector is an industry leader in durable stain and soil protection for apparel, home textiles and a variety of other items made from textiles. Teflon® works on all fabric types by surrounding each fiber with an invisible molecular shield guarding against oil- water-based stains, dust and dry soil. All of this, without impacting the look, touch, feel, color or breathability of the fabric.
Teflon® fabric protector keeps textiles looking newer longer. No imitation can match the powerful stain protection in combination with a better environmental profile than Teflon® fabric protector. And no other fabric protector has the strength of the DuPont name.
