“Raj and Akhil Shah founded Filium Corp., a company whose cutting-edge technology turns natural fibers into performance fabrics that is redefining the textile business. By improving cotton, wool, linen, and other fabrics to be water-repellent, stain-resistant, and odor-free, their patent-pending method provides an environmentally beneficial solution that upholds consumer and environmental safety. Both natural and synthetic textiles can benefit from this cutting-edge treatment. Raj Shah, CEO of Filium Corp., stated, “Our dedication to sustainability and innovation drives us to provide eco-friendly solutions that enhance everyday garments while contributing to a healthier planet.” Their in-house sportswear company, Zenkai Sports, which they co-founded with former professional athlete Doug Lynch, served as the technology’s first test subject. Dendrimers, which are molecules that self-organize into highly ordered structures, are the source of inspiration for Filium’s technology. With this structure, the treatment may be applied more effectively, bonding with fabrics to produce long-lasting, fluorine-free results. Clothing may be worn for extended periods of time between washes thanks to the treatment, which improves sweat evaporation and odor resistance without changing the fabric’s look or breathability. The Filium formula conforms with EPA TSCA regulations and has earned eco-certifications from Oeko-Tex, ZDHC, Bluesign, and GOTS. The technology is a sustainable replacement for performance fabrics because it doesn’t include any dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde, PVC, or PFAS. Pro athletes and industry leaders like NBA stars Marcus and Markieff Morris and professional golfer Rickie Fowler have already expressed interest in the technology.”

”We are passionate about the environment and the future of the planet,” Raj Shah said. “We invested years of research and millions of dollars to develop Filium which we believe to be a better, more sustainable performance technology.”

Best Date-Night Jacket: Filium x Ably Apparel Chesterton Lined Denim Jacket
“It’s a time-honoured trope that a guy on a date may want to drape his jacket around the other person if they’re feeling chilly. As far as its features when it’s on your own shoulders, however, a good date-night jacket will keep you warm on cooler nights (without turning you into a puddle of sweat), look good, and have basic pocket options for carrying things like breath mints and condoms. We’re loving this sharp-looking collab from Filium and Ably Apparel, which boasts a flannel lining, and activated fabric to repel spills and stains.”

“Smooth synthetics or tightly woven cottons are usually the easiest — lint sits right on the surface,” Lynch says. “A standard adhesive roller (disposable or reusable) will work well here. For travel or quick fixes, I keep a compact lint roller with perforated sticky sheets in my bag. If the fabric is treated with a coating like Filium (which naturally resists buildup), you often need just a light swipe.”
