TA3 Brazilian Plungey Keyhole Swimsuit
Lower-concern base materials, but no brand disclosure on water-repellent coating treatments used.
This Brazilian plunge swimsuit is made from standard nylon-elastane construction, which presents lower inherent PFAS risk. However, swimwear often receives water-repellent or quick-dry finishes, and MATE the Label provides no public disclosure about whether water-repellent coating treatments were applied or their chemistry.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 68% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
