PFC and PVC-free

None of Rains’ products contain hormone disrupting, hazardous chemicals such as perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) or phthalates (PVC) that are listed as chemicals to avoid. PFC-coatings also called Durable Water Repellent (DWR) are made to bead up and disperse moisture from rainwear but are considered highly harmful for the environment. As an alternative, Rains’ water repellency comes from an innovative and specially developed PU-fabric that is water repellent in itself and therefore does not need to be coated with chemistry.

REACH

All components of Rains’ products stand confidently under the standards of REACH; the European legislation regulating registrations, evaluations, authorizations and restrictions of chemicals. Together with international testing centers, we are demonstrating our compliance, based on a rigorous environmental audit protocol that includes chemicals management.
