What is the ecorepel® system and how does it work?

Ecorepel® is a so-called equipment technology which makes fabric water and dirt-repellent (particularly watery dirt) to a high degree. This technology is particularly environmentally friendly, free of hazardous fluorocarbons and biodegradable. Ecorepel® can withstand washing very well and is highly resistant to wear and abrasion.

er The ecorepel® treatment consists of paraffin chains which enclose the fibres of the fabric with a thin layer. This reduces the surface tension of the fabric so that water and watery dirt, whose surface tension is significantly higher, are repelled. Fabrics treated with ecorepel® function like the plumage of a duck, which repels water.
