RUCOFIN®
Silicone Softeners

With RUCOFIN® the RUDOLF GROUP offers a complete range of emulsions of differently modified polysiloxanes. They are used as softeners and gliding agents in very different textile applications.

RUCOFIN® silicones confer individual features to your textiles and, in addition, high-end properties, such as maintaining hydrophilic properties, better moisture transportation, elasticity, volume, lustre, smoothness, better crease recovery, improved sewability, higher tensile strength, etc.
