You never want to wear out your favorite articles of clothing after just one season.

The finish specifically strengthens the fiber structure of cotton, cellulose fibers, and their blends, significantly increasing their resistance to abrasion, tearing, and washing. As a result, textiles retain their quality appearance and new look even after many wash cycles. Developed specifically for these fiber groups, “BeSoStrong“ is suitable for a wide range of applications: from casual wear to denim, outdoor and workwear, and high-quality knitwear.

“BeSoStrong“ also improves the performance of recycled cotton, enabling higher-quality applications for sustainable fiber streams. The best part: The natural feel and comfort are fully preserved.

Robust and high-quality

Wearing clothes longer inherently saves resources. This is exactly where “BeSoStrong“ comes in: with more durable materials, a longer wear time, and a look that maintains high-quality over time. In addition, the finish is formaldehyde-free and meets the requirements of modern textile finishing. It is also available in a bio-based version made from renewable raw materials, helping to further reduce the carbon footprint along the textile value chain.
