Pomegranate Phlox Green Tablecloth
Skip until Frontgate discloses water-repellent coating chemistry; stain-resistant tablecloths commonly use PFAS.
This tablecloth likely has water and stain-resistant finish, where PFAS coatings remain industry standard. Frontgate provides no treatment information or PFAS status.

What Pomegranate Phlox Green Tablecloth is made of, ingredients and materials
This tablecloth is a cotton blend (exact synthetic percentage not specified in public product data) finished with a water-repellent coating. water-repellent coating finishes are applied to textile surfaces to shed spills and stains; the chemistry of this finish is the critical unknown. Frontgate has not publicly disclosed whether their water-repellent coating uses PFAS-based or PFAS-free chemistry, which is the primary safety concern for this product category.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
PFAS
Frontgate does not disclose water-repellent coating chemistry; stain-resistant textile finishes commonly use PFAS-based formulations unless explicitly stated otherwise. Risk level depends on undisclosed finish composition.
Source, ATSDR ↗Coating degradation and microfiber shedding
Water-repellent coating finishes on textiles can degrade with washing and wear. As the finish breaks down, microscopic particles may shed; the composition of this finish (PFAS or otherwise) affects whether shedding poses additional exposure risk.
What’s reassuring
Formaldehyde / VOCs
No specific formaldehyde release incidents reported for Frontgate tablecloths. Cotton blends with synthetic content may use formaldehyde-based dyes or finishes, but this is not an established hazard for this product line.
Source, ATSDR ↗Azo dyes (synthetic color hazard)
No evidence of restricted azo dyes in Frontgate products. The 'Green' colorway does not trigger known azo concerns, but full dye chemistry is not disclosed.
Antimony in polyester content
If synthetic blend contains polyester, antimony may be present as a catalyst residue, but no specific contamination has been reported for Frontgate tablecloths. Antimony leaching from textiles is not an established concern at typical use levels.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Frontgate does not maintain a published chemical disclosure policy or PFAS transparency statement in publicly available materials. The brand has not communicated water-repellent coating formulation details for their tablecloth products. This silence is notable because competitors in the home textile space increasingly disclose water-repellent coating chemistry or certify PFAS-free treatments. Lack of transparency is a reasonable flag when purchasing stain-resistant textiles.
How it compares in its category
Most mid-to-premium tablecloths with water-repellent finishes fall into a gray zone, some use PFAS-based chemistry (historically cheaper and more durable), while others have migrated to alternatives not linked to PFAS (often less persistent or requiring reapplication). Frontgate's silence puts this product in the higher-risk category relative to brands that explicitly certify PFAS-free or disclose their water-repellent coating supplier. Standard unfinished cotton or linen tablecloths avoid this hazard entirely but sacrifice stain resistance.
If you buy it
Wash before first use to remove loose finishes and dyes. Use warm or cool water; avoid hot water, which can degrade coating integrity. Launder infrequently and separately to extend water-repellent coating life. Do not dry-clean unless the product label permits, as solvents may interact with the finish. If water-repellent coating stops repelling water after several washes, replacement may be warranted rather than re-treating, since reapplication chemistry is also undisclosed.
