Textile Refiners

‘We brought products to market that we couldn’t have developed on our own. This can in part be attributed to Van Riel’s innovative capacity and the developmental process that we went through together.’

Riel-Feltstop is an unique process for the treatment of wool and other animal fibres. The treated fibres are washable, shrink resistant and chlorine-free. They do not felt. This also applies to the end products that the fibres are processed in. The result is permanent and is achieved in a sustainable way.

Washable Wool
The treated, washable wool is perfectly suitable for application in bed textiles, for example in washable pillows and duvets. The treated fibres can also be used in the fashion industry, for example as insulating material in outdoor and ski clothing, meaning that they are shrink-proof.

Riel-Feltstop 
Fibres that have been treated with Riel-Feltstop carry the Riel-Feltstop label and, additionally, are Oeko-Tex certified.

Other Treatments
In addition to Riel-Feltstop other treatments are also possible, such as: 

• Anti-moth
• Ultra-Fresh™ (antifungal and antibacterial) 
• Hercosett

These treatments are also Oeko-Tex certified.

Unique
Riel-Feltstop is unique in the world. Through this treatment we are helping end users in the fashion industry, among others, in producing sustainable products.
