Textile chemicals are specialized substances used in the processing of textiles to enhance their quality, durability, and functionality. They play a crucial role in various stages of textile production, including pretreatment, dyeing, printing, and finishing. These chemicals improve fabric properties like colorfastness, softness, wrinkle resistance, and water repellency. Common types include surfactants, softeners, bleaches, dyes, and resins. With growing emphasis on sustainability, eco-friendly textile chemicals are gaining importance, reducing environmental impact while maintaining performance standards.
