Applications

Textile processes

Chemistry and biotechnology for every stage of textile processing, from preparation to garment washing.

Preparation

Textile processes Scouring detergents and wetting agents Auxiliaries that quickly wet the fiber and remove oils, waxes, sizes and natural or process impurities, leaving the substrate ready for dyeing or finishing. See details → Textile processes Chelating agents Products that sequester metal and hardness ions in the water and the fiber, preventing them from interfering with bleaching, dyeing or soaping. See details → Textile processes Textile enzymes Enzyme biotechnology for textile processes such as desizing, biopolishing, peroxide removal and denim wash effects. See details →

Dyeing

Textile processes Chelating agents Products that sequester metal and hardness ions in the water and the fiber, preventing them from interfering with bleaching, dyeing or soaping. See details → Textile processes Leveling agents Auxiliaries that control the dye uptake rate to achieve a uniform color distribution throughout the batch. See details → Textile processes Dyeing dispersants Keep dyes and impurities dispersed in the bath, preventing agglomeration and redeposition on the fabric or machinery. See details → Textile processes Dyeing auxiliaries Complementary products that help control the dye bath, such as pH regulators, anti-crease agents and bath lubricants. See details → Textile processes Soaping and after-dyeing washing Products that remove unfixed dye at the end of dyeing to reach the expected fastness with fewer rinses. See details → Textile processes Reductive washing and color stripping Products for reductive washing and for stripping color from fabrics or garments, as an alternative in processes that traditionally use sodium hydrosulfite. See details →

Softening

Textile processes Softeners and silicones Softeners and silicone emulsions that give fabrics the desired hand, drape and elasticity, for all types of fibers and fabrics. See details →

Functional finishes

Textile processes Water and oil repellent finishes Finishes that make water and other liquids bead up and roll off the fabric surface instead of being absorbed. See details → Textile processes Moisture management and quick-dry finishes Hydrophilic finishes that move moisture from the skin to the outside of the garment and speed up its evaporation. See details → Textile processes Soil release finishes Finishes that help dirt and stains come out during domestic or industrial laundering. See details → Textile processes Special hand finishes Finishes that modify the thermal sensation or hand of the garment, such as cool or warm effects on contact with the skin. See details → Textile processes Direct-to-garment (DTG) pretreatment Preparations applied to the garment before printing with direct digital inks, to better fix the ink on the fiber. See details →

Garment and denim washing

Textile processes Reductive washing and color stripping Products for reductive washing and for stripping color from fabrics or garments, as an alternative in processes that traditionally use sodium hydrosulfite. See details → Textile processes Garment and denim washing products Auxiliaries for the different stages of washing finished garments and denim, from desizing to final finishing. See details → Textile processes Textile enzymes Enzyme biotechnology for textile processes such as desizing, biopolishing, peroxide removal and denim wash effects. See details →
