Clean chemistry,
independently tested.
The coating technology in SPINX is independently tested by SGS — one of the world's largest testing and certification labs. Low-VOC. Formaldehyde-free. No heavy metals. No phthalates. No solvents, no abrasion, no harsh chemicals on the paddle you paid for.
What the lab found.
SPINX is built on patented coating technology we're licensed to use. That coating technology was submitted to SGS for independent analysis. Here's what came back — the part that matters when you're spraying something onto gear you hold, breathe near, and play with for hours.
| Test | Method | Result |
|---|---|---|
| VOC content | GB 18582-2020 (VOC) | 8 g/L (limit 100) |
| Formaldehyde | GB 18582-2020 | Not detected |
| Heavy metals — Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr(VI) | RoHS / IEC 62321 | Not detected |
| Phthalates | REACH / EN 14372 | Not detected |
| Water resistance | ASTM D870-15 | No change |
| Heat resistance | ISO 3248 (100°C / 24h) | No change |
Results from independent SGS testing of the coating technology in SPINX. "Not detected" means below the laboratory method detection limit. SGS report nos.: VOC SHAAF24026298201; formaldehyde SHAAF24024575203; heavy metals & phthalates (RoHS) TAOPC24008471401 (SGS, Nov 2024). Full reports available on request.
Low-VOC
A fraction of the 100 g/L regulatory limit. Almost nothing off-gasses as it dries — safe for closed bags and indoor courts.
Heavy metals & formaldehyde
Lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and formaldehyde all tested not detected.
Water & heat resistant
The cured film holds up to sweat and a hot car trunk — it won't wash off after a session.
What's NOT in the bottle
Most "paddle cleaning" quietly costs you.
The two things players reach for — solvent wipes and melamine erasers — do get the face clean. They also dry it out, grind it down, or off-gas chemicals onto gear you hold for hours. SPINX is the clean-and-protect option built to do neither.

Clean chemistry isn't a luxury. It's the point.
You handle it. You breathe near it.
You spray this in an enclosed gym, then grip the paddle for hours. Low-VOC and free of added fragrance means almost nothing off-gasses into the air around you.
It's going on a $200+ paddle.
Erasers and solvents wear the surface down a little every time. SPINX is non-abrasive and carbon-fiber safe — it cleans and protects instead of stripping.
No mystery ingredients.
Independently tested, with the methods named above — not a "proprietary blend" you're asked to trust. Tested not-detected for heavy metals, formaldehyde, and phthalates.
SGS-Tested
Low-VOC
No Heavy Metals
Carbon Fiber Safe
Straight answers on safety.
Has SPINX actually been lab tested?
Yes. The coating technology in SPINX — the same material we're licensed to use — was independently tested by SGS, one of the largest testing and certification labs in the world. The results are summarized above, with each test method named.
Does it contain PFAS or "forever chemicals"?
No. SPINX is a water-based formula with no PFAS, no phthalates, and no added fragrance. Independent testing returned not-detected results for heavy metals and formaldehyde.
Is it safe to use indoors and in my bag?
Yes. At a tested 8 g/L, VOC content is a fraction of the 100 g/L regulatory limit, so very little off-gasses as it dries. It's water- and heat-resistant once cured, so it travels in a closed bag without an issue.
Will it damage my carbon fiber paddle?
No. Unlike erasers and solvents, SPINX is non-abrasive and engineered for composite paddle faces. It cleans and protects the surface rather than wearing it down.
Clean to use. Built to protect.
Independently tested chemistry that cleans your paddle and leaves a protective coating — without the harsh stuff. One bottle, months of supply.
