German-based Rudolf Hub1922 has unveiled the Offuel, the very first range of future-oriented chemical auxiliaries for denim processing that are based on alternatives to crude oil. The Rudolf Hub1922 Offuel range is made of 11 finishing auxiliaries. All these 11 chemical agents are existing, selected solutions or brand new technologies of Rudolf.
The Offuel product series is a progressive array of chemical auxiliaries for denim finishing consisting, by at least 90 per cent, of alternatives to crude oil and/or components based on recycled materials, Rudolf said in a press release.
“It is very urgent for all players in the textile supply chain to start thinking of alternative, renewable raw materials. From this perspective, chemical companies that are often perceived as a problem, are infact a big part of a possible solution,” said Alberto De Conti, head of marketing and fashion division at Rudolf Group.

Available, renewable raw materials are the common denominator throughout the Rudolf Hub1922 Offuel range and those renewable sources do not compete with human and/or animal nutrition, nor do they compete with the production of any fuel. The renewable raw materials being used can be grouped into 5 different families: Substances of botanical origin; Substances of biological origin, or produced through biotechnologies; Salts, water, basic acids and alkalis; Substances recycled from waste of biological origin and Substances recycled from plastics – either post-consumer, or industrial waste.
The Rudolf Hub1922 Offuel range is a complete toolbox of chemical auxiliaries for wet denim processing. The range is first to market and it is an instrument for wide creativity, a large array of looks is possible (from dark to light). All its products were cleared by bluesign – which makes them also ZDHC Gateway Level 3 – and all are compliant with the Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex. It is progressive as the chemistry comes from renewable alternatives to crude oil.
“Our vision is for Rudolf Hub1922 Offuel to be verified by us during garment manufacturing,” added De Conti. In fact, Rudolf extends to the Rudolf Hub1922 Offuel range the very same verification process they successfully apply for the assessment of performance chemicals and which is based on volumes being treated, recipes being applied and amounts of our auxiliaries being purchased. “Through the verification certificate that we release, manufacturers can be recognised for their efforts and brand and retailers can be reassured that their garments are finished only with Rudolf Hub1922 Offuel products”.
