Industrial Workwear

AsahiGuard^® E-Series is ideal as a tough and durable coating for workwear in contact with oil and dirt, within sectors such as automotive and chemical industries. Fabrics made using AsahiGuard^® are comfortable to wear and highly durable for industrial laundering. This protection applies to all clothing, accessories such as gloves, work boots, and shoes.

Along with technical textiles and applications for noise insulation and vehicle interiors, the E-Series can also be applied to automotive and industrial parts, as well as air and oil filters.

Medical, Emergency Services, Police and Army

AsahiGuard^® E-Series offers water, oil, and alcohol repellence for durable and lightweight fabrics in the emergency response and military sectors. Suitable applications include operation scrubs, medical gowns, surgical drapes, surgical face masks, laboratory wear, and items that have to be sterilised in the medical industry.

Those working in demanding environments need the protection of tough durable, waterproof fabrics that AsahiGuard^® is able to provide.

Outdoor Leisure and Sportswear

AsahiGuard^® E-Series provides a waterproof coating for outerwear and footwear designed for activities such as skiing, hiking, mountaineering, and sailing.

These waterproof characteristics mean it is widely used on tents, awnings, and canopies to give protection from the elements.

Food Packaging

AsahiGuard^® E-Series is used in many applications throughout the food and drinks packaging industry. It is unscented and gives a high quality, food contact use approved, non-stick, breathable barrier to water, oil and grease, and offers added durability to paper, board and moulded fibre products.

Typical applications include fast food boxes, bags and wrappers, paper tableware, dry pet food packaging, paper trays and containers. E-Series can be used in paper production for imparting grease proof performance to paper products, whether at the wet end or size press end.
