We specialize in finishing fibre- and down-proof fabrics

 

Finish

To change the characteristics of textile fabrics and obtain a specific final finish, special treatment methods are applied to textiles. Existing characteristics, like moisture absorption, can be increased or reduced to meet customer requirements.

It is also possible to add new characteristics to the fabric, like the inhibition of bacteria growth and the related release of odor on the textile.
Here is an overview of the finishing we offer:

Argan Finish

The sensuous finish

The luxurious oil used for the finish is produced in an elaborate process from the seeds of the plum-like fruits of the argan tree endemic to south-west Morocco. Argan oil is health at its best!

Moreover, argan oil has an extraordinarily high content of vitamin E, known as a radical scavenger and antioxidant. It has an anti-ageing effect for the skin and is a huge source to boost the immune system. Fabrics finished with argan oil are soft and harmonious to the touch, so that the power of the argan tree shines through.

Hydrophil Finish

The feel-good finish

Classic soft touch finishes give fabrics exceptional sensations to the skin, but also make them  aterrepellent. With our hydrophilic finish, however, the fabrics offer excellent moisture management while still providing a wonderfully floating, soft touch: the textile receives a hydrophilic surface with high absorption capacity. Moisture is spread in the fabric on a large scale for fast evaporation.
This feature supports the natural moisture management of feather and down fillings to provide a dry sleep atmosphere.

Advantages
• Dry sleep atmosphere
• Pleasantly soft to the touch
• Resistant to multiple washes at 60°C
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, class 1

Magic Touch Finish

The enchanting finish

We use state-of-the-art finishing technology for the Magic Touch finish to conjure a magically soft touch to the fabric. Latest hydrophilic finish ingredients make the fabric soft, which is the basis for the “Magic Touch”. Moreover, the fabric absorbs moisture well and evaporates it quickly to create a pleasant and dry sleep atmosphere. The fabric gets its super-soft smooth and supple touch from a final polish process, when the fabric surface is slightly emerised using state-of-the-art technology to add the so-called peach skin effect. In combination with high-quality fillings, this magic fabric will create a completely new sleep experience like never before.

Vital Finish

The fitness finish

Natural caring ingredients and vitamin E protect the skin against dangerous UV radiation and premature aging by attenuating environmental stress. The protection is generated by a perfect combination of vitamin E, aloe vera and jojoba. The extract of aloe vera leaves is said to have wound healing, anti-inflammatory, skin-smoothing, anti-allergy and moisturizing effects. Jojoba oil is well absorbed by the skin to make it soft and supple. Vitamin E is an antioxidant to “catch” free radicals thus protecting the skin against aging.

Wool Soft Finish

The care finish

Wool grease, also known as lanolin, was already used as Oesypus in ancient times for medical purposes using its skin caring and outstanding wound healing properties. Due to these positive characteristics, lanolin is frequently used in ointments and salves for babies and people with sensitive skin.
Lanolin adds a soft, smooth and supple surface to a fabric. At the same time, its moisturizing effect optimizes the natural water balance of the fabric. Fabrics which offer the wool soft finish absorb moisture very well and are particularly breathable.

Advantages
• Dry sleep atmosphere
• Improved breathability
• 100 % natural — GOTS approved
• Elegant gloss
• Soft and elegant to the touch
• Resistant to multiple washes at 60°C

Antistatik Finish

The “discharging” finish

Antistatic agents prevent or reduce the unintended effects of electrostatic charges caused by mechanical friction. The finish improves the conductivity of a fabric for an improved discharge of electric charge or to avoid the buildup right away. The finish proved to be very effective in four seasons duvets with fiber fills where it reduces fiber piercing which may occur when the fabrics of the buttoned-up duvets rub against each other producing electric charges. The antistatic finish is also suited to support manufacturing processes by preventing friction charges which cause fabrics to “stick together”. The effect is not wash-proof and dry cleaning proof only to a limited extent.

Advantages
• Improved conductivity
• Reduced piercing
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, class 1

Comfort & Clean Finish (ZN+)

A dreamlike finish

Dreaming is much better in hygienic clean pillows and comforters. Bacteria and fungi are often useful and everywhere around us. However, uninhibited growth on fabrics can be problematic under unfavorable conditions. Beddings are rarely washed and they stay longer hygienic by the bacteriostatic and fungistatic effect of ZN+. “Comfort & Clean-Finish” counteracts unpleasant odors and mould-infest on the fabric.

Advantages
• Spreading out of bacteria on fabrics can be prevented
• Unpleasant smells formed by transformation of body perspiration are effectively prevented
• Prevention of fungi-/ and mould infestation
• Human ecological harmless
• Persistence of fabrics will be improved
• High wash permanence: about 10 washes up to 60°C

Pre-shrink Finish

The “Wash me” finish

To reduce a subsequent shrinking of textile products when exposed to water or heat, we deliberately create the shrinking in advance which is realized without any chemical substances. Latest technology is used to strongly compress the fabric and fix it using moisture, heat and pressure exclusively. Typically, fabrics with
this finish guarantee a dimensional stability of about four percent.

Advantages
• Improved dimensional stability
• Waschbar mit 40 bis 95°C
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, class 1

Stain Resistance Finish

The stay clean finish

The stain resistance finish reduces the possibility of stain substances to stick to the fabric keeping it longer clean. We apply the latest fluorocarbons which build a molecular barrier to repel liquids which roll off the fabric surface. The remaining liquid should be wiped off carefully with a dry clean cloth.

Advantages
• Very good stain protection
• Functional touch • High wash permanence: about 10 washes at 60°C
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, class 1

Silver Protection Finish

The hygienic finish

Silver ions are one of the most efficient means to fight bacteria and the released odors. They are bonded to the fibers where they become active without causing allergic reactions. The effect will remain the same all the time. The finish does not affect the touch of the fabric.

Advantages
• Inhibits growth of harmful bacteria on the textile
• Buildup of odors on textiles caused by perspiration decomposing bacteria is inhibited

Lavender Finish

The fragrance finish

Latest technology is used to anchor teeny micro capsules with lavender fragrance onto and into the fabric. Due to their microscopic size, they do not affect the touch of the fabric. When the fabric is exposed to mechanical stress like rubbing or crumbling, i. e. when using a duvet or pillow, the capsules are activated producing a slow release of the fragrance. We chose lavender for its calming and relaxing effect which can ease headache and reduce stress. Apart from finishing fabrics, it is also possible to finish down with lavender micro capsules.

Advantages
• Calming and relaxing effect
• Pleasant scent
