Sustainable innovations in textile chemicals
To meet market demands and foster future technologies, Clariant's Textile Chemicals BU has developed new products that address environmental concerns and help make textile processes more sustainable.

These products include:
• The new Pekoflam fire retardant (FR) system offers breakthrough performance in durable FR finishes, enhancing durability while keeping in line with global sustainability and green health standards. Its nonhalogenated finishes, formaldehyde and amine emissions below detectable limits, meet the sustainability needs and high performance requirements of the textile industry.
• Clariant's Foam Eco Care finishing sets a new benchmark in wrinklefree finishes with a new foam-based application improving fabric quality, cutting down production processes and generating benefits in water, energy and time savings.
• Quiospheres1, a new high-tech cosmetic microencapsulation for textile applications with proven benefits, providing a feeling of well-being and wellness.

These latest sustainable product lines, coupled with the advanced application development capabilities established in Singapore, are expected to help create more business opportunities in the Asia Pacific region.

“Clariant has worked closely with many customers around the world to develop new applications to cater to the demands of future market growth,” Winkler says. “Our innovation heritage and strong commitment to sustainability further confirm Clariant's status as one of the leading chemicals suppliers to textile mills and manufacturers.

The successful relocation of our BU headquarters and the subsequent realignment of our global structure enable us to optimize our support to our global customers while providing them with the latest and most innovative solutions, from fiber to finish, for all textile market segments.”
