Scouring & Bleaching Auxiliaries
The saponification of waxes / fats and oils by the use of sodium hydroxide is not enough on its own for high quality processed fabrics. Scouring agents are utilised to assist the processing of textile fibres / yarns and fabrics in conjunction with other chemicals to remove the impurities found in such forms. The main functions these products serve is to:
- Increase speed of penetration of the processing liquor into the fabrics
- Aid removal of impurities by emulsifying residual waxes / oils
- Maintain these impurities within the processing liquor and be easily rinsed out
- To sustain a minimum amount of foam thereby reducing slippage and reducing fabric processing errors
Texchems large range of scouring and bleaching auxiliaries have been produced to ensure that these key stages in wet processing yield the best possible results.
