BIONIC-FINISH® ECO is an ecological alternative to all previous durable hydrophobic finishes. Its chemical basis is more environmentally friendly than all past durable waterrepellent finishes. No perfluorinated compounds are used for manufacturing ®RUCO-DRY ECO, which is the finishing product of BIONIC-FINISH® ECO. Thus, ®RUCO-DRY ECO is not based on substances that contain perfluorinated groups.
Generally, ®RUCO-DRY ECO is biodegradable. Nevertheless, it cannot be called readily biodegradable according to OECD test methods, but eliminable. As the polymeric ingredients are maintained and are to be effective beyond the life-span of the article finished with it, this is quite reasonable. Neither are polyester fibres "readily biodegradable", but they can be recycled without hesitation.
According to OECD tests, ®RUCO-DRY ECO can be easily eliminated from the effluent (>80%) and is harmless regarding water toxicity (EC50 (bacteria) >100 mg/l, LC50 (fish) >100 mg/l) as well as oral toxicity (LD50 (rats) >5000 mg/kg). BIONIC-FINISH® ECO is not resistant to drycleaning or to solvents. Solvents initiate the dissolution of the finishing film and penetrate it. This has to be considered with coatings and laminations. Oil repellency can only be reached by perfluorinated compounds.
