A few days ago, we left Indianapolis excited about the meetings and connections made at the American Coatings show (April 30 – May 2). The show continues to grow as more than 9,000 industry representatives attended, an increase of over 10% from the previous event.
The team at FutureFuel held executive meetings with more than 40 companies during the show, generating leads for several new custom manufacturing projects. Of particular interest were the need for reliable, domestic supply of key coatings ingredients and the growing trend in bio-based raw materials.

Future Proofing Textile Supply Chains: FutureChem™ SSIPA as a PFAS Alternative in Stain Resistance
The carpet and textile manufacturing industries are undergoing a significant transformation. Regulatory bodies worldwide are increasing their scrutiny of traditional chemical treatments and consumer demand is shifting rapidly. Today manufacturers face intense pressure to transition away from traditional polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in consumer goods. This shift forces strategy level executives and tolling managers to rethink their entire supply chain and seek permanent structural solutions for stain resistance. SSIPA or 5-Sodiosulfoisophthalic acid emerges as the premier component for building lasting protection directly into the fiber.
