RUCO®
Impregnating agents for the formulation of textile and leather care products based on C6 fluorocarbon technology
Water repellency and stain protection wear out during the use of textile and leather items. The reasons for this are mechanical abrasion in the washing machine or during use etc. Hence it is necessary to apply care products to regenerate the oil, water and stain repellency whether done by the consumer itself, in professional laundries or during dry cleaning.
RUCO®-FC-concentrates are delivered to producers of textile and leather care products for the end consumer and for professional users. RUCO®-FC-concentrates are suitable for the formulation of solvent-based spraying systems or for water-based foam resp. spray applications.
| C6-Technology PFOS* and PFOA*-free | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Product | Solubility | Ionic character | Characteristics |
| RUCO 1006 | hydrocarbon, PER, acetate | - | Effective active ingredient for water repellency and stain protection, proper for dip, brush and roll on application as well as for spraying** only in closed systems resp. using proper respiratory protection |
| RUCO 1016 | solvent mixture of hydrocarbon, acetate as well as isopropanol | - | Powerful active ingredient for the formulation of impregnating sprays**, a formulation using RUCO 1016 passed the inhalation toxicity test according to OECD 403 at a particle size of 2.7 µm |
| RUCO 1036 | water | cationic | For a maximum of water repellent effects at room temperature, application as spray on**, wash in or as foam |
| RUCO 1046 | water | cationic | For stain protection and water repellency, application as spray on**, wash in or as foam |
