TÄBY, Sweden — February 14, 2018 — OrganoClick has for several years supplied biodegradable industrial impregnation products for textiles under the brand OrganoTex®. OrganoTex will now be launched as a textile impregnation product for consumers used for making garments and fabrics water repellent. The products will be sold as a spray-on product that is applied by hand or as a Wash-In product that is applied in a washing machine. The sales towards consumers will be made through resellers within sport, outdoor and fashion retail, with Swedish Naturkompaniet as the first reseller.
