Fluorine-Free, Water Repellent Finishes for Ultimate Performance 

BIONIC-FINISH®ECO of RUDOLF GROUP is Mother Nature’s work reproduced on textiles and apparel to protect us from water. To perform.

Back in 2003, RUDOLF GROUP borrowed from Mother Nature the idea of dendrimers (from dendron, Greek word for ‘tree’), molecules made of multi-functional branches that interact among themselves, co-crystallize, and self-organize into highly ordered, multi- component systems. These hyper-branched polymers attach to the textile and embed fluorine-free, durable water-repellent performance.

In 2021 BIONIC-FINISH®ECO comes as a reviewed and extended family of unique non- halogenated, APEO-free, fluorine-free formulations suited for different materials and designed for different applications and needs. Still very much based on patented dendrimer technology, the new and strengthened BIONIC-FINISH®ECO’s product portfolio:

• Provides non-fluorinated and highly durable water repellent textile finishes for high-performance, professional applications (e.g. when brushing resistance is required);
  

• Delivers highly efficient and durable performance with low application amounts thus not affecting fabric feel and appearance (e.g. when remarkable softness is important);
  

• Fulfills a range of challenging technical requirements (e.g. minimal impact on flame retardant properties of technical fibers);
  

• Is suitable for both sportswear and outdoor applications, as well as for casual apparel and fashion clothing;
  

• Is bluesign® approved, ZDHC chemical gateway certified and compliant with most RSLs;
