Isn't it fascinating how ducks can dive under water and reemerge with their feathers still dry? Like all waterfowl, ducks produce an oily secretion that allows their plumage to repel water. The ecorepel® technology transfers this natural water repellency to textile surfaces.
The function:
Just like a duck's plumage, ecorepel® imitates this natural, water-repelling protection and ensures that textiles stay dry and clean.
ecorepel® is based on long paraffin chains that wrap themselves in a spiral around the individual fibers. This reduces the surface tension so that water droplets and even watery dirt with a much higher surface tension simply run off. Breathability is not affected, and the feel remains pleasantly soft.
