 Excellent protection
from mould attack

Mould fungi love

heat and moisture
What do new awnings, tent fabrics, sailcloths, tarpaulins, suns-
hades, shower curtains, etc. have in common?

They rapidly become unsightly

without protective finishes!
Everybody would like textiles to maintain their “unspoiled“ ap-
pearance. But flawless textiles have an enemy:
mould fungi.
The reasons are moisture and moisture build-up, often com-
bined with heat.

RUCO-BAC CID OF for perfectly

complementing the system of
water-, oil- and soil-repellent
products

With RUCO-BAC CID OF, RUDOLF offers a special protective pro-

gramme for textiles. With its perfectly durable effects RUCO-BAC
CID OF protects textiles from mould attack when combined with the
water-, oil- and soil-repellent products, RUCO-GUARD or BIONIC-
FINISH, without affecting the water-, oil- and soil-repellent effects.
Thus, the “unspoiled“ appearance of textiles is maintained for a
long time.

Mould fungi stand for an early and

visible ageing of textiles
Mould fungi make textiles unsightly.
Mould spots are very difficult to remove and the visible sign of de-
cay. Black, unsightly and constantly growing, the fungus spreads
over sunshades, awnings, tents, tarpaulins, etc. The often expen-
sive textiles become useless within a relatively short time (depen-
ding on the climatic conditions).

is maintained longer due

mould attack
RUCO-BAC CID OF develops its effects on the textile. The an-
timicrobial orientation is strongly fungistatic. The colonisation
of textile surfaces with mould fungi as well as their growth are
prevented.
