Disponil^®EHS 47

Disponil^®EHS 47 is our recommendation for mercerizing agent. It is a valuable time saver as it fosters the penetration of sodium hydroxide into cotton. This anionic surfactant shows high alkaline solubility, is low foaming and has good wetting properties. At the same time, Disponil^® EHS 47 ensures an optimal and even result, meeting the high-quality requirements of the industry. On top of that, the BASF surfactant not only shows outstanding performance on cotton but also on natural fibers such as ramie or linen.

Sustainability in Leather & Textile

Sustainability is gaining tremendous importance in the production of textile and leather. Formulators look for sustainable chemical alternatives in order to protect the workers and the environment. Bio-based chemicals products, RSPO certified product grades, biodegradability, maximized efficiency, reduced GHG emissions and low toxicity profiles are few ways to help protect the environment and the workers. Equally important is ensuring a long-lasting effect and color fastness, strength, and endurance, in order to ensure a more sustainable future, for high quality textile and leather goods.

One example: Agnique^® CP 72 has an excellent performance as after soaping agent – no need for pH change during the process, therefore less washing cycles at lower temperature.
