Basic Textile Chemicals and Agents
Textile chemicals and agents are the substances used in the different processes involved in the processing of textiles, including pretreatment of raw fibers, dyeing, and the finishing of cloth. These chemicals enhance things like the durability, washing, softness, water, light, microbe, and fire resistance of fabric.
The following are a few of the significant textile chemical categories:
Pretreatment Chemicals – Used in desizing, scouring, and bleaching to cleanse away impurities and prep materials for further processing.
Dyestuffs and Printing Agents — These are the dyes, auxiliaries, and printing pastes that give textiles their color.
Finishing Chemicals – Improve fabric attributes like softness, water repellence, and flame retardants.
Specialty Chemicals – Like enzymes, optical brighteners, and anti-static agents to achieve specific fabric enhancements.
