Rudolf Group, German developer of products for textile finishing and construction chemistry, is set to present its pre-treatment/dyeing, finishing and coating possibilities for innovative automotive textiles, at Techtextil 2017, international tradefair for technical textiles, to be held in Frankfurt, Germany, from May 9 to 12, 2017, in hall 6.1, stand C41.

This year’s motto is “Solutions for Automotive Textiles” and, by focussing on seven major topics and by means of selected, tried and tested products, Rudolf will demonstrate how textile auxiliaries can contribute to functionalising automotive textiles and to also preserve their value.

The company will show RUCOGEN FWK, a universally applicable low-foaming, washing and wetting agent with dispersing, emulsifying, and fast-dissolving properties. It is extremely suitable for removing oil, silicone and paraffin-containing preparations.

Due to their visibility, especially on dark shades, and their tendency to dusting, PES oligomers cause big problems. The best recipe to avoid oligomers on the fabric is high-performance products which disperse PES oligomers. The company will also show RUCO-TEX OGX, a dosable oligomer disperser that effectively prevents oligomers from depositing on the fabric and, thus, dusting.

Value-preserving finishes against aqueous soil with state-of-the-art repellents based on fluorine-free recipes combine material protection and sustainability. RUCO-DRY ECO PLUS, the top performer of the fluorine-free product range, which results in excellent wash resistance when combined with crosslinking boosters, such as RUCO-LINK RCX, RUCO-LINK CHX, and RUCO-LINK BEW, will also be displayed at the show.

RUCO-COAT FRP CONC, a water-based, ready-to-use, soft compound which is extremely suitable for backcoating automotive cover fabrics, will be a part of the show. RUCO-FLAM PSY-E is an example for a tried and tested, durable flame retardant for aqueous finishing, which is already effective when applied in low quantities.

High requirements of mechanical resistance in the automotive sector often demand finishing with polymers. The company will display RUCO-PUR SLR, a self-crosslinking polyurethane that improves technological properties such as the abrasion resistance and velcro resistance of textiles used without affecting the handle.

The company will also show RUCO-STAT APF, an antistatic agent that does not affect other finishing effects such as repellency and flame retardancy. With only small application quantities it effectively prevents static cling without supporting the thermomigration of disperse dyestuffs.

Rudolf will show RUCO-BAC AGP, based on micro-disperse silver technology, which guarantees effective protection against odour-causing bacteria, to preserve the value of automotive interiors. (GK)
