OrganoClick signs general agreement with Team Sportia & Sportringen for OrganoTex® textile impregnation and expand its product portfolio
In 2018, OrganoClick launched its fluorocarbon-free and biodegradable OrganoTex® Spray-On and Wash-In textile impregnation for consumers. During 2018, the number of Swedish resellers of the OrganoTex®-products have grown to more than 50, including Naturkompaniet, Alewalds, Skistar, Sportshop and Houdini. OrganoClick now signs a general reseller agreement with Team Sportia and Sportringen for the OrganoTex®-products. In conjunction with this, OrganoClick now also launches OrganoTex® BioCare, a 100 % biobased and biodegradable washing product for functional garments that preserves their water repellent properties longer.
OrganoTex® Spray-On and Wash-In has been developed during several years and have been designed to give good water repellancy, yet being biodegradable. The product is based on OrganoClick’s patented and awarded technology for modification of textile fibers and and is totally free from the problematic perfluorinated compounds (PFAS), cyclic siloxanes and isocyanates that is often used in textile impregnations. Several of these chemicals is thought to be cancerogenic and hormone disruptive, as well as bioaccumulative in nature. The new product, OrganoTex® BioCare has been developed as a 100 % biobased and 100 % biodegradable washing product for functional garments, that preserves their impregnation and water repellent properties longer than for traditional washing products. OrganoTex® BioCare will be implemented at most existing resellers of the OrganoTex®-products during 2019 as a compliment to the current product portfolio
