ABSTRACT

Innovative auxiliaries play an important part in the manufacturing of textiles products. The knowledge of chemical processes, polymer chemistry and comprehension of complicated biochemical processes culminated in what we see in a processor’s minds a drastic change. Advance chemical innovation has played a crucial role in maintaining textile chemicals rising in line with increasingly changing health, protection and environmental regulations. A speciality in this category is textile wet processing which can help to lower textile chemical manufacturing cost. The supply of the chemical in bulk or semi-bulk containers is a solution to reduce the cost of a compound. By this system, the drums and drum clearance costs can be eliminated. That quality requirements, followed by rising cost pressure, are keeping textile processors and the textile industry as a whole in a challenging role.

There is an enormous demand to provide low-cost textile auxiliaries. Continuing the ten-year-old old pattern of the textile industry’s fastest development, textile chemical producers have now come up with innovative ideas to make textile chemicals accessible in concentrated conditions by lowering their costs. Special auxiliaries for low-temperature bleaching of cotton, spin finishing, salt-free dyeing of cellulose with reactive dyes, single bath dyeing of cotton and polyester and functional finishing are discussed. Moreover, the upcoming chemistries like sugarbased surfactants, acrylic-based synthetic thickeners and silicone copolymers are also discussed. All these technologies are taking action to attain more sustainable textile processing.
