MAFLON® was founded in 1996 thanks to a research project developed together with the Fluorine Chemistry Laboratory of Padua University. This research project was focused, since the beginning, on fluorinated products and their application. MAFLON® has the appropriate coating solution for surfaces such as leather, textile, stone, tile, wood, providing a durable and transparent treatment while creating a highly effective protective barrier against different agents as oils, water, coffee, food products and beverages. MAFLON® also produces a wide range of fluorinated surface active agents to give excellent wetting, spreading and leveling properties in coating, cleaners and waxes systems. Fluorosurfactants may be also used in polishes, inks, adhesives and in all applications where surface tension is a fundamental parameter to determine the performance of the final products. Today MAFLON® includes a research team leading the R&D activities cooperating closely with some of the most important universities specialised in Fluorine Chemistry. All the R&D activities are developed in the laboratories located in the headquarters in the northern part of Italy.
