Textile chemicals are specialized chemical compounds utilized for processing, pretreatment, dyeing, and refining fabrics. They comprise a wide variety of chemical compounds, such as wetting agents, detergents, emulsifiers, sizing components, de-sizing agents, dye carriers, dye retarding or leveling compounds, dye fixing agents, and rubbing fastness improvers. They also consist of water repellents or proofing agents, such as fluorocarbons (PFAS), synthetic waxes, and silicones. They are primarily incorporated in the scouring, bleaching, and printing steps to improve the overall finish of textiles. They also provide flame, crease, wrinkle, and stain resistance properties to retain the quality and prints on fabrics. It also offers antimicrobial properties to enhance the performance and lifespan of materials, prevent production of odors, and reduce the occurrence of skin rashes. They deliver a clean white finish to the fabrics by applying optical brightening agents (OBA) of blue, violet, and red tints, which is necessary for creating a blank slate to make vibrant prints and patterns.
