Textile Care Chemicals
Revitalising Materials. Enhancing Performance. Extending Lifecycles.
At RUDOLF, we develop and produce care solutions for high-quality, functional surfaces, with a particular focus on textiles and leather. The active ingredients in our formulations can be used to create care products that clean effectively and revitalise materials, enhancing them with specific functionalities.
These products can impart effective properties such as hydrophobicity, hygiene and softening. Renewing these high-performance, long-lasting effects increases the life cycle of consumer products, thus enhancing their sustainability.
Our hydrophobing agents are mainly used for reimpregnation. Water and soil repellent effects can be refreshed. Hydrophobing is used in a variety of applications, from sportswear to workwear, from sports shoes to casual shoes. Materials such as glass, stone, wood and plastic can also be impregnated with our products. The ability to make surfaces hydrophobic offers many benefits, including longer life and increased resistance to stains and dirt.
One feature is very important for textile surfaces: softness. Softeners based on fatty acid condensation products or polysiloxane give your textile that individual characteristic. In addition, properties such as fabric hydrophilicity, elasticity, sewability and tear resistance can be improved. RUDOLF is researching the technology of softness at the molecular level. The result of this continuous development work is state-of-the-art solutions.
Wetting and washing agents help us in daily life to keep textile, leather and plastic surfaces fresh and clean. These products are also needed to remove stubborn stains, such as coffee or mustard. The right cleaning can help to maintain the appearance of surfaces, their quality and the desired effect for a longer period of time. The product selection depends on various factors such as the material, the type of stain, the degree of soils and the application method. We can offer an optimal solution with our wide range of RUDOLF products.
Our specialty products include products for antifogging, antistatic, antipilling, hygiene and freshness management. These products can be used to achieve effects with a unique selling point but also additional effects. We will be happy to support you in developing a formulation customised to your surface.
