BIONIC-FINISH® ECO is a patented fluorine-free technology from RUDOLF that effectively protects textiles from rain and water-based stains. BIONIC-FINISH® ECO can be used on all types of fibres and is highly resistant to household and industrial laundering. This technology provides excellent water repellency with minimal application quantities, without affecting the texture, appearance or breathability of the treated textiles. In addition, BIONIC-FINISH® ECO products contain a significant amount of renewable bio-based raw materials, up to 90%, meeting the growing consumer demand for sustainable products.

The dendrimer technology from RUDOLF is characterised by the following benefits:

• Sustainable solution
• Low application quantities
• Versatile applications

What´s next?

In the development of all BIONIC-FINISH® ECO products, the focus is not only on the highest safety standards, but also on a strong commitment to the environment. RUDOLF works continuously to improve the efficiency and environmental compatibility of the raw materials used in BIONIC-FINISH® ECO products. With our BIO-LOGIC concept we actively promote the use of bio-based ingredients in our development and production.

FERAN® BIO ICR technology combines highly optimised moisture management and pleasant wear comfort with sustainability at the highest level. The product was developed for the production of high-quality, finished textiles.

These are worn directly on the skin and efficiently transport perspiration away from the body surface. This keeps the body pleasantly dry in every situation and noticeably increases comfort.

FERAN® BIO ICR contains 87 % certified biobased content measured by Beta Analytic®*

Benefits

• Confers highly wash-resistant hydrophilic properties, absorptive power and soil-release effects
• Pigment and fat-containing soil can be easily washed off
• Improves the antistatic properties of synthetic textiles
• Confers a supple handle (micro touch effect)
• Improves the wearability
• Suitable for coloured and white goods
• Product can be easily handled

On which processes can the product applied?

• Excellently suitable for pad or exhaust application
• Suitable for WEKO liquid application system
• Suitable for non-contact precision spray technology BALDWIN

RUCO®-PUR BIO SLB technology combines moisture regulation and wear comfort with sustainability at the highest level. The product is designed for the production of high-quality functional textiles.

These are worn directly on the skin to efficiently wick sweat away from the body surface. Thus, the body is kept pleasantly dry in every situation and comfort is noticeably increased.

RUCO®-PUR SLB contains 43 % certified biobased content measured by Beta Analytic® *

Benefits

• Creates a PU-specific soft handle with a high “inner softness”
• Hydrophilic properties, resistant to mild washing, are imparted to wovens, knitwear or fleece made of synthetic fibres
• Confers good antistatic properties to the substrate
• For dyed or white goods
• Easily overdyed (easy-repair function)
• Versatile combinations with other finishing products possible

On which processes can the product applied?

• Excellently suitable for pad or exhaust application
• Suitable for non-contact precision spray technology BALDWIN

UV-curing is a photochemical process for the rapid and energy-efficient curing of UV-reactive products under the influence of ultraviolet radiation. In the textile industry, this technology is used for a wide range of applications on textiles. RUDOLF is a leading and innovative global supplier to the textile, construction, paint and car care industries. Dr Hönle AG is an international company in the field of UV technology for industrial applications. The specialists RUDOLF and Dr. Hönle AG combine their competences in a cooperation to find specific solutions together with the customer.

RUDOLF offers the following benefits with UV curing:

• Fast application
• Reduced process times
• Saving of resources
• Energy efficiency

Application possibilities:

• Water and soil repellency
• Producing impermeability to air
• Flame retardant properties
• UV protection

PRISTINE - a term synonymous with freshness, purity and cleanliness - is the name given to RUDOLF’s brand that characterizes Hygiene & Freshness products.

PRISTINE PRO: Bodily humidity and warmth are ideal conditions for a large growth of
microorganisms. PRISTINETM PRO highly durable treatments protect textiles from the
multiplication of microorganisms. That is textile hygiene and freshness that typically lasts for
the lifetime of a garment.

PRISTINE V: Targeting the smallest, anti-viral treatments for the protection of textiles. PRISTINETM V is about antimicrobial treatments that reduce the viral load in a treated textile.

PRISTINE LIFE: These technologies are engineered to deliver emotional comfort. Unpleasant body odors in the garments are the reason for frequent washing of cloths. Non-biocidal products are designed to effectively control these odors.

Our BIO-LOGIC concept actively promotes the use of bio-based ingredients in our development and manufacturing.

As a result of our scientific expertise, we are able to present high-performance products from a wide range of applications with a high bio-based carbon content.

By increasing the use of renewable raw materials in chemical production, we are laying the base for a sustainable future.

RUDOLF technologies guarantee our customers an optimal combination of performance, durability, protection, well-being and sustainability.

The benefits of our bio-based products at a glance:

• Reducing the use of petrochemicals
• Reducing the negative impact on the environment
• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
• High performance products
• Excellent price/performance ratio
