RUDOLF Introduces Sanitized® Puretec™ Technology for Advanced Antimicrobial Textile Protection
September 2025 : In response to the growing demand for durable, high-performance textiles, RUDOLF GROUP now offers Sanitized® Puretec™, an innovative metal-free antimicrobial technology.
This solution is engineered to provide long-lasting freshness and odour control for textiles across various demanding applications, from sportswear to home furnishings.
As modern lifestyles demand more from fabrics, Sanitized® Puretec™ delivers reliable antimicrobial protection precisely where it is most needed.
Sanitized are pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with RUDOLF for the Sanitized® textile additive technologies.
Starting September 1, 2025, a structured transition period will commence with both our current distribution partner and RUDOLF to ensure global supply and customer support.
As of February 1, 2026, RUDOLF will assume full and exclusive responsibility for global distribution.
The technology effectively prevents the buildup of odour-causing bacteria and permastink, particularly in synthetic fibres that are subjected to sweat and extended wear.
This ensures that garments remain fresh and hygienic even after intense activity and multiple washing cycles, enhancing both comfort and consumer confidence.
The applications for Sanitized® Puretec™ are extensive and designed to meet the needs of today's market.
In team sports apparel, such as functional T-shirts and leggings, it maintains freshness during and after physical exertion.
For outdoor wear exposed to variable weather and prolonged use, the technology ensures durability and lasting hygiene.
It also offers significant benefits for work and school uniforms, as well as home textiles like bedding and upholstery that are difficult to wash frequently, by providing durable odour management.
"Our goal with Sanitized® Puretec™ was to develop a high-efficacy, metal-free solution that addresses the real-world needs of consumers for freshness and hygiene in their textiles," stated Rudolf. "This technology not only extends the life and usability of garments but also supports a more sustainable approach by reducing the need for frequent washing."
By integrating Sanitized® Puretec™, manufacturers can enhance the value and performance of their textile portfolios.
This advancement represents a significant step forward in fabric care, aligning with consumer expectations for products that are not only functional but also built to last in demanding environments
