AUXILIARIES FOR SIZING
ACHISTAT 073 F
Multi-purpose antistatic that can be used in all spinning and sizing processes. It is characterized by its high antistatic effect and its ability to retain moisture. The product does not contain mineral oils and greases and is free from odors and yellowing. Its special formulation allows to obtain well parallelized fibres and very regular wicks.
ACHITINA GO
Anionactive wetting agent with low foaming, easily soluble in water, stable to alkali and hard water. It stands out for its rapid action and for being part of the GOTS certification.
ACHITINA IMC
Anionactive wetting agent with low foaming, easily soluble in water, stable to alkali and hard water. It stands out for its fast action.
ECOLASE HN
Thermostable enzymatic desizing. It is an amylase that resists high temperatures and performs its maximum activity at 95 - 100°C, suitable for desizing processes. For the preparation of the desizing bath, the use of hard water is preferably recommended.
ECOPON LO
Detergent and wetting agent for desizing treatments, characterized by a notable degreasing effect, a high emulsifying power for natural fats and waxes, with low foaming. Its special formulation based on linear ethoxylated fatty alcohols makes it rapidly degradable in biological plants.
Complete range of products for textile sizing, which improves the resistance of the warp threads during the weaving process.
