Back to School
Get ready. For every school moment.
A good day at school starts with the right clothes. Comfortable, practical clothing keeps children and teenagers comfortable throughout the day, from the first break to the last lesson. The fabrics adapt to their movements, whether they are sitting in the classroom, running around at break time, or playing sports. Soft fabrics ensure a comfortable fit. They also wick away moisture and are breathable. This means that children and students will feel comfortable all day long.
They stay dry, flexible and focused. The right fit provides support where needed, giving children the freedom to climb, play and learn. Comfortable clothing promotes well-being and concentration. When children feel comfortable in their clothes, they can focus fully on discovering and learning. This makes every school day a little easier.
Moisture Management
School uniforms finished with HYDROCOOL® technology absorb and disperse moisture across a large surface area. Their moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties ensure all-day comfort and keep skin dry — ideal for active school days.
Hygiene and Freshness
Moisture and warmth provide ideal conditions for the growth of microorganisms responsible for unpleasant odours. RUDOLF's PRISTINE™/Sanitized® technology is a particularly powerful, effective and durable finish that protects against such body odours. This means that textiles stay fresh for longer.
Abrasion Resistance
School uniforms often suffer heavy wear and tear from daily use. Applying the high-quality RUCO-PUR® finish makes the fabric much more abrasion-resistant, helping uniforms maintain their appearance and withstand the demands of the school day.
Antistatic
Synthetic fibres, especially in active wear, tend to become statically charged during use, i.e. an accumulation of electrical charges on their surface. RUCO®-STAT products from RUDOLF reduce these electrostatic charges on textiles and to ensure a more comfortable.
Softening Agents
RUDOLF offers a comprehensive range of soft-touch agents that provide an extremely pleasant feel to the skin. RUCOFIN® and PERRUSTOL® technologies allow us to develop tailor-made solutions for specific requirements.
UV Protection
School uniforms finished with RUCO®-SHIELD protect young skin from the sun's harmful rays while children are playing outdoors.
Water repellency
Water repellent agents based on the fluorine-free BIONIC-FINISH® ECO technology achieve outstanding, permanent effects at the highest level. For specific challenges, a coordinated product range is available.

Learn moreWhat is the difference of school clothing to normal apparel?
The main difference in requirements between normal apparel and school uniform is the longer life of the garments. The performance requirements of school clothing is higher than in regular apparel, since it is used for several years, every day and will be washed very frequently. To ensure that the effects are still working after a few weeks, RUDOLF uses only durable high-performance products to match these requirements. For reference RUDOLF also always offers the possibility of doing lab trials in their facilities.

How many wash cycles does the finish withstand?
The performance after washing always depends on the finish applied to the material.
Learn moreHow many wash cycles does the finish withstand?
The performance after washing always depends on the material and the finish. Since school uniforms are washed very frequently, RUDOLF only recommends products that offer lasting performance even after several washes. In particular, when using our BIONIC-FINISH ECO technology for a water-repellent finish, heat treatment is required after washing to reactivate the performance.
