| FINISHING |
|
| |
Finishing improves the aesthetic value of textiles in the final stage of textile processing. Finishing agents alter / modify the feel of the fabric to suit customer needs in terms of softness, body, bounce, smoothness etc. Speciality finishes are developed and applied on to textiles based on their attributes like hydrophilicity, anti-pilling, soil and flame retardancy, water repellency etc. |
| |
| Cationic Softener |
|
|
| |
Softeners can be used on textile substrates in the final treatment to enhance feel and drape and thereby improve the aesthetic value of textiles. Cationic softeners are used on a wide variety of fabrics, yarns and processes. |

| Speciality Finishes |
| |
Finishing of textile fabric is carried out to increase attractiveness and/or serviceability of the fabric. Different finishing treatments are available to get various effects, which add value to the basic textile material. However, there are numerous instances during various stages of textile processing when the fabric needs to be treated to cure minor shortcomings such as colour matching, pilling, odour etc. Himchem Industries provides innovative solutions to these shortcomings so that the finishing department can satisfy the aesthetic and functional performance demands of the customers. |

| APEO Remover |
| |
APEO or Alkylphenol Ethoxylates are surfactants often used in formulation of detergents and many other auxiliaries. These compounds are completely banned in almost all western countries because of their highly toxic effects. Even traces of these compounds, if found in the fabric are unacceptable. Although most of the textile processing industries strictly avoid usage of such chemicals (which are not APEO free), there are several occasions when traces of Alklyphenol compound have been found in the fabric. In its thrust to provide every solution to its customer, Himchem Industries has researched and developed a highly effective APEO remover. |
