Fibre processing

Find out more about our techologies for fibre processing.

We have complete solutions for improving productivity, consistency and aesthetics in wet processing of various substrates (cotton, regenerated cellulose, polyester, polyamide and spandex) as per substrate forms (fibre, yarn, knits and woven) and as per application machinery (exhaust & continuous). Each application range consists of a variety of products as per their functions/effects and features. Many of our products are Bluesign®, Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and OEKO-TEX® compliant. This means that using Croda products can help work towards gaining the certification for these industry leading standards.

Our recommendations

We have industry benchmark anti-creasing agents for processing of various substrates. It is necessary to have low fibre to metal friction and optimum fibre to fibre friction during processing. We have specialised our chemistry in this segment to offer high performance products to take care of elastane blends with polyester, viscose, cotton & new fibres such as Lyocell.
