Brands in Textile & Leather Chemicals

DeMUL is a clear, colorless liquid that serves as an emulsifier for emulsifiable concentrates, microemulsions, concentrated emulsions, and oil dispersions. It has a saponification number of approximately 128, an acid number of maximum 1, and an iodine number of approximately 60 gI/100g.

IGEPAL is a nonionic surfactant finding application in household and industrial controlled foam detergents, industrial metal cleaners, floor cleaners and waterless hand cleaners.

SYNPRINT is based on our proprietary self-crosslinking technology. This technology combines two different crosslinking mechanisms on the same polymer backbone, substantially increasing the chemical resistance, water resistance and adhesion to multiple substrates. This technology was designed for the self- crosslinking mechanism to fully cure at room temperature while maintaining long-term shelf stability.

BIO-SOFT® is a nonionic surfactant blend that is an excellent cleaner, degreaser, and detergent. It can be formulated into concentrates and ready-to-use products for household, industrial, and institutional applications.

Acrodur® acrylic resins are available as an aqueous solution. They are self-cross-linking and without formaldehyde release. BTC’s range of Acrodur® types gives decorative foils, filters, and wallpaper excellent mechanical properties. Acronal® types with specific properties give the best performance for mineral, glass fibers, and natural fibers (acrylic resins as a binding agent). Acronal® latexes are based on styrene-acrylate polymers and provide optimum printability and low yellowing tendency.

St. Louis Group is an established & viable supplier of brominated flame retardants. We are a domestic manufacturer of brominated polyols and blends. We also have contract manufacturing operations in China. Specialty dispersions and masterbatches are available upon request.

WACKER markets vinyl chloride co- and terpolymers in the form of dispersions and solid resins under the VINNOL® trade name.

WETSOFT® imparts excellent softness and moisture absorption to your textiles. Our WETSOFT® range of products is particularly impressive when used on terry goods, leisure wear or other high-quality functional textiles The silicone finish provides textiles with an innovative structure that combines outstanding softness with excellent water absorption. For use in your formulations, we also offer you products of the WETSOFT® NE range in the form of concentrated emulsions, easily dispersible oils or water-free fluid.

Products of the POWERSOFT® range are highly concentrated and highly effective building blocks in your softener formulations. The products of this brand offer you all the advantages of conventional aminosilicone emulsions. Moreover, you can choose between micro and macro emulsion concentrates, depending on your individual softness requirements.

CharFlam brand offers non-halogenated products that promote char formation in intumescent flame retardant applications & engineering resins.

Lanwet is an extremely effective wetting agent for many porous substrates.

Our FireBlend® line offers alternatives to antimony trioxide. We produce these proprietary products domestically and tailor them to flame retardant requirements.

Silicone polyethers, or silicone surfactants, contain both a water-insoluble silicone backbone and a number of water-soluble polyether pendant groups. The ratio of the silicone to polyether, and the molecular weight and composition of the components determine the solubility and specific properties of a product. These products exist as multi-pendant and linear di-functional polymers. Siltech offers a broad range of silicone polyethers as well as custom-designed products for specific applications. These are also available in cosmetic grades, where they are commonly referred to as dimethicone copolyols. These products are widely used as emulsifiers, foaming agents, solubilizers and softeners. They are also used in many inks and coatings formulations were they add slip, mar resistance and leveling.

PBN-II® thermally bonded nylon fabrics exhibit excellent uniformity, plus high tensile and tear strength even at low fabric weights. Because the fabrics are made of nylon, one of the toughest and most durable man-made polymers, our fabrics have high sewn seam strength when fabricated into finished articles. In addition, nylon bonds well with most adhesive systems, making these fabrics excellent materials for manufacturing laminate and composite systems.

We have a bunch of additive products for various applications. They are Nucleating agents, Optical Brighters, Color developer, Curing, etc.

Disponil® grades are anionic based surfactants for a wide range of applications where dynamic wetting and solubilising properties are needed. Especially their strong emulsifying and dispersing characteristics are the main property in diverse applications. They are used during the polymerization process are essential for problem-free manufacture, insitu-polymerization stabilization and can also positively influence the dispersion performance in application. Disponil® grades are free of sodium chloride and the remaining salt content of sodium sulfate is reduced to a very low limit. With regard to the 1,4 Dioxan content in fatty alcohol ether sulfates (FES) the level is reduced to a limit depending on the ethoxylation degree. Overall the content is below 150 ppm, whereas the lowest is < 5ppm. Those narrow ranged by-products of the main product are mandatory in sensitive applications like emulsion polymerisation processes. In addition most of the emulsifiers are FDA or BfR (Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung) approved.
