Huntsman Textile Effects will be highlighting its HIGH IQ intelligent effects and durable water repellency technology at the upcoming OutDoor Retailer Summer 2019 show, in stand 56031. The North America’s largest tradeshow in the outdoor industry drawing attendees from all over the world will be held from June 18-20, 2019, in Denver, Colorado.

As the industry leader in innovative and environmentally sustainable textile solutions, Huntsman Textile Effects offers mills and brands a comprehensive suite of intelligent effects through its HIGH IQ performance assurance programme. With a wealth of textile industry knowledge and experience, the company helps mills around the world achieve greater productivity and efficiency, it said in a press release.

Following the expansion of its long-term alliance with Chemours, Huntsman will feature an extended range of technology offerings, including sustainable, high performance and non-fluorinated ZELAN durable water repellent finishes, at the US event.

HIGH IQ repel performance assurance programme is designed to help mills, brands and retailers meet global demand for eco-friendly apparel with rain and stain protection. Combining innovative durable water repellent finishes with unparalleled technical expertise, the HIGH IQ repel programme provides durable eco-friendly and sustainable protection for every performance need: everyday, outdoor, and extreme adventures.

HIGH IQ lasting white performance assurance programme delivers very high and brilliant whites on cellulosic fibres, combining our latest generation of well-known UVITEX fluorescent whitening agents. With environment-friendly fluorinated (C6) or non-fluorinated stain repel and release technologies, the fluorescent whitening agents used under the HIGH IQ lasting white programme ensure garments keep looking new for longer.

HIGH IQ lasting colour performance assurance programme is powered by specially selected NOVACRON dyes. Fabrics made using the HIGH IQ lasting colour programme will not fade, and there is little risk of colour staining on other garments during washing.

HIGH IQ lasting colour eco performance assurance programme relies on Huntsman’s award- winning AVITERA SE reactive dyes to reduce water and energy consumption by up to 50 per cent compared to best-available technologies. Excellent washing-off performance shortens processing time and increases productivity.

HIGH IQ cool comfort moisture management programme allows garments to breathe while transporting moisture away from the body through its quick-dry properties. The unique technology reduces post-exercise chill, making the effects highly suitable for sports and active wear. (GK)
