Since 1922, HOLMENKOL has been combining proven technologies with the latest high-tech materials. All sports coatings made by HOLMENKOL are exclusively developed and manufactured in Germany. This ensures cutting-edge premium quality.
HOLMENKOL’s Textile Protection range has been designed jointly with top athletes. It meets with the most exacting performance demands on performance and helps athletes of any level to focus on their sport. At the level of pro- fessional sports, breathability, water-repellent surfaces, hygiene and cleanliness may just tip the scales. In recrea-tional athletics, they greatly contribute to your well-being and enjoyment.
NANOTECHNOLOGYExtreme water and dirt repellent surfaces thanks to ultra thin self-assembling layers (see pages 21-22).
LOTus-HYbrid-mATrixDirt rolls off the surface thanks to the unique surface texture, based on the principle of the lotus plant (see page 23).
HYGiENE EffECTHygienic cleanliness for textiles even when washed at very low temperatures or refreshed using a spray (see page 7).

For me as a triathlete, choosing the best possible preparation determines victory or defeat in all disciplines. For me, selecting and caring for suitable sportswear is part of the game, both in competition and in my leisure time.

PreWash Sport Stain remover for functional clothes22232 250 ml
PreWash Sport effectively removes typical sport stains including e.g.• blood• grass• soil/mud/sand/tennissand• lubricant• oil(usedoil/machineoil,motoroil,bikeoiletc.) • wax/tar/resin withoutdestroyingthefabric.
APPLICATION Prior to use, spot-test for colour and compatibility on an inconspicuous area. To remove stubborn dirt, put an absorbent cloth underneath the stain. Apply the product undiluted and work in using a brush. Then cover the stain with a saucer or similar and allow the product to act for around 20 mins. Put into the washing machine as usual and wash with TextileWash according to washing instructions.
Sportswearandfunctionalclothingare sensitivetochemicalcleaners.PreWashSportoffersgentlecleaningandpreservesthefabric’sfunctionality.Unlikeothercon-ventionalstainremovers,PreWashSportisoptimisedtoremoveabroadrangeofdirt.
TIPGentle rubbing using the application brush will clean much more effectively than merely applying the product. Wash with TextileWash after cleaning.

DID YOU KNOW? Unlike conventional washing agents, TextileWash with its integrated Hygiene Effect can be used for washing even at the lowest temperatures – even hand washables – for a hygienically clean effect.
LefT Conventional functional clothing, e.g. micro-fibre fabrics are
hydrophobic (water repellent) and hardly absorb the sweat.
The body is covered in a film of sweat and cools down considerably
when playing sports.
RIghT The fabric absorbs the sweat from the body and carries it out
and away.

Unpleasant odours and bacteria can then be bound together and a lemon-fresh scent remains.
“good” and “bad” odours are chemically com-pletely different. The high-tech odour absorber Sporthygienic has no problem at all distin-guishing between them.
