The First Bio-Based Durable Water Repellent Solutions 🌿 The German chemical company RUDOLF GROUP has developed two new textile treatments, adopting natural sources as key components for its Durable Water Repellent (DWR) technology. Ruco-Dry Bio CGR has been described “an absolute breakthrough” and the first DWR based on plant-derived processing waste, the innovations will be marketed under the Bio-Logic trademark. The “waste of waste” is key to Rudolf’s breakthrough, DWR is made of natural waste that accumulates as by-product during the processing of cereal grains in the food industry. The leftover material is refined to create the powerful water- and stain-repellent textile finish. “We really wanted to take something that was not taken by anybody else in nature,” said Alberto De Conti, Rudolf Group’s head of fashion division. A big step towards circular economy.What do you think of this new technology?
