A treatment can ensure a garment with a 100 % water repellency without the use of membranes, stain- and odor resistance - and provides unmatched, true breathability.

None of the treatments changes the comfort, hand feel or breathability of the fabric – and all treatments are durable for the life circle of the garment or fabric, which by the way is prolonged by the treatments. Adding to this, these treatments have set new milestones in color retention, whiteness value, drying  several times faster than identical non-treated garments and much faster than conventional DWR treated garments.
