HeiQ is partnering with Rudolf Group

The cooperation between the Rudolf Group and HeiQ pools expertise in fluorine-free and fluorine-based repellence solutions and offers added value through innovative products, specialised global support, consumer-focused compliance and marketing support. As a result, brands can ensure the transparency and safety of their textile products and value chain. The partnership has created a comprehensive portfolio that boasts a sustainable and durable DWR (durable water repellency) function for every type of fabric. That’s good news for outdoor enthusiasts worldwide, who can look forward to staying dry no matter how wet and wild the weather.

This outstanding new joint technology portfolio will be marketed under the common ingredient brand BARRIER. BARRIER is a consumer-focused ingredient brand offering reliable water, oil and stain repellence for outdoor wear, thanks to its 3D polymer structure.
