Water repellent
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.
Waterproof
RUDOLF offers the ECO-VENT® technology, a water-based PU coating. This waterproof coating ensures excellent water vapour permeability and thus reduces heat loss. ECOVENT® is an environmentally friendly, solvent- and formaldehyde-free coating system.
Soil Release
Using FERAN® gives the fibre surface of synthetic and cellulosic textiles with a long-lasting protective layer that prevents stains from adhering. This innovative treatment ensures that dirt and stains can be easily removed during washing, keeping clothing looking new for longer.
Soft Touch
RUDOLF offers a wide range of products in the soft touch segment to create the experience of absolute softness. With the comprehensive portfolio of RUCOFIN® and PERRUSTOL® technologies from RUDOLF, customised and sustainable solutions can be developed for specific requirements.
Textile Care
RUDOLF develops and produces solutions for the care of high-quality and functional surfaces, with a focus on textiles and leather. These solutions can be used to achieve effective properties such as water repellency, freshness or softness. The renewal of high-performance, long-lasting effects extends the life cycle of consumer goods and thus increases their sustainability.
Abrasion Resistance
Sportswear often shows significant signs of wear after repeated use. However, by using high-quality RUCO-PUR® solution in the finishing process, the material becomes much more abrasion-resistant and shows fewer signs of wear.
Hygiene and Freshness
Moisture and warmth provide ideal conditions for the microorganisms responsible for unpleasant odours. With PRISTINE, RUDOLF has developed a high-performance, effective and durable finish that protects against these odours and ensures maximum comfort during outdoor activities.
Moisture Management
Textiles treated with HYDROCOOL® efficiently absorb and distribute moisture over a large area on the outside. This moisture-wicking and quick-drying function ensures that the skin stays dry and feels comfortable, especially during strenuous activities.
