Filium Corp., founded by brothers Raj and Akhil Shah, is revolutionizing the textile industry with its cutting-edge technology that transforms natural fibers into performance fabrics. Their patent-pending process enhances cotton, wool, linen, and other fibers to become water-repellent, stain-resistant, and odor-free, offering an eco-friendly solution that maintains the safety of both consumers and the environment. This innovative treatment works on both natural and synthetic textiles.

“Our commitment to sustainability and innovation drives us to provide eco-friendly solutions that enhance everyday garments while contributing to a healthier planet,” said Raj Shah, CEO of Filium Corp. The technology was initially validated through their in-house sportswear brand, Zenkai Sports, co-founded with former professional athlete Doug Lynch.

Filium’s technology is inspired by dendrimers, cascade molecules that self-organize into highly ordered systems. This structure optimizes the treatment's application, allowing it to bond with textiles and provide durable, fluorine-free performance. The treatment doesn’t alter the fabric’s appearance or breathability, while offering enhanced sweat evaporation and odor resistance, allowing garments to be worn longer without frequent washing.

The Filium formula is eco-certified by Oeko-Tex, ZDHC, Bluesign, and GOTS, and complies with the EPA’s TSCA guidelines. The technology is free of harmful chemicals like PFAS, PVC, and formaldehyde, making it a sustainable alternative for performance fabrics. The technology has already attracted interest from industry figures and athletes like pro golfer Rickie Fowler and NBA players Marcus and Markieff Morris.
