Klopman special finishes

Crease Resist Finish

Crease Resist Finish
provides optimum easy-care properties and controlled shrinkage. The fabric is treated with reactive resin to improve both crease resistance and crease recovery. The resin is fixed by crosslinking on the cotton fibre. This makes the finish durable, while maintaining the fabric’s breathability. CRF is available as a standard finish for the majority of Klopman products and is designed for industrial laundering.
OEKO-TEX 100 CLASS 1 (OC1)
Fabrics developed with OC1 finish are treated with advanced eco-friendly chemicals, providing the same fabric-enhancing properties as CRF, but with OEKO-TEX® 100 Class 1 certification ensuring that the material is skin-friendly and safe to wear, even for babies.
This durable finish is a perfect option for laundries and customers who are extremely health-conscious. OC1 finish can be applied to the majority of Klopman products.

Repellent finishes

HYDROFOIL: water and Oil Repellent Finish
Hydrofoil is an exclusive Klopman formulation which adds superior water and oil repellency properties to all fabrics. Hydrofoil offers excellent durability, even after industrial laundering, and outperforms other comparable finishes on the market. The lifetime of the finish can be increased even further by rinsing Hydrofoil-treated garments with a repellent agent in the final rinse of the wash cycle. The frequency of re-proofing depends on the end-use requirements. It’s perfectly safe for drying in a tunnel finisher.

Hydrofoil can be applied to all Klopman fabrics. Repellency performance may vary according to the fabric it is used on. Certification to EN 13034 for protection against limited chemical splash already exists for some fabrics (ie Indestructible and Superbandmaster, as well as a number of fabrics from the protectivewear range). Individual testing is required for EN 13034 certification on other fabrics.

Antibacterial Finish

Antibacterial finish from Sanitized®
Exploiting the proven benefits and antibacterial properties of silver technology, this finish offers exceptional levels of antimicrobial protection, specifically designed to meet the requirements of critical hygiene applications such as food production, preparation and service, as well as healthcare. Sanitized® antimicrobial finish acts as a built-in deodorant, preventing the development of unpleasant odours caused by bacteria, and helping to enhance the personal freshness and wellbeing of the wearer. The finish is dermatologically tested and safe for sensitive skins.

Fabric Protector Finish

Duraclean: resistant to soil – easy to wash
Based on a new generation of eco-friendly chemistry, Duraclean is a Klopman finish which gives fabrics the ideal balance of repellency and washability.

In dry conditions (when wearing), Duraclean has hydrophobic features which make it resistant to oil and soil, thanks to a chemical component which reduces absorption. In wet conditions (during the washing process), Duraclean has soil-release properties, enabling the water and detergent molecules to extract soil from the fabric. The fabric, and therefore the garment, stays cleaner when in use and releases soil during washing. Duraclean offers enhanced garment appearance and extra safety, avoiding contamination of high-visibility garments and preventing dirt or flammable residues from setting on protectivewear garments.

Duraclean guarantees better economic care (less washing + lower washing temperatures = increased garment working life) and durability, withstanding from 30 to 50 washings when applied to polycotton fabrics.
