Softeners are used to impart a soft and smooth feel to fabrics, making them more comfortable to wear.
Silicone softeners, cationic softeners, and fatty acid-based softeners.
Antistatic agents reduce or eliminate static electricity on the fabric surface, preventing issues like clinging and discomfort.
Quaternary ammonium compounds, non-ionic antistatic agents.
Flame retardant finishes are applied to textiles to reduce flammability, providing increased safety in certain applications.
Phosphorus-based flame retardants, halogen-based flame retardants.
Water repellent finishes create a barrier on the fabric surface, preventing water absorption and enhancing resistance to wetting.
Fluorocarbon-based water repellents, silicone-based water repellents.
Stain repellents help to resist the penetration of liquids and stains, making it easier to clean the fabric.
Fluorocarbon-based stain repellents.
Wrinkle resistance finishes reduce the tendency of fabrics to wrinkle, making them easier to care for and maintain.
Crosslinking agents, resin finishes.
UV absorbers are used to protect textiles from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, preventing color fading and degradation.
Benzotriazole derivatives, hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS).
Moisture management finishes regulate the absorption and release of moisture in fabrics, improving comfort.
Hydrophilic finishes, phase-change materials.
Crease resistance finishes help maintain the shape and appearance of textiles, reducing the formation of creases and wrinkles.
Crosslinking agents, resin finishes.
Biocidal finishes are applied to textiles to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.
Antimicrobial agents, silver-based finishes.
Aesthetic finishes are applied for decorative purposes, creating special effects on the fabric surface.
Luster finishes, embossing, foiling.
