Wholesale Water Repellent for Cotton and Cellulosic Fabric

Water Repellent for Cotton and Cellulosic Fabric

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Intro

Water repellent for cotton and cellulosic fabric is developed for mills that need water protection on cotton, viscose and linen fabric. The chemistry builds a water repellent film on the fiber surface, so the fabric resists water, spills and daily soiling while keeping a soft hand feel.

It is used on cotton, viscose, linen and blended fabric, and can be applied on pad-dry-cure lines and continuous ranges. The product is designed for apparel fabric, home textile and workwear fabric where cotton and cellulosic fibers are used.

For mills running multiple cotton programs, one product can cover several finishing steps, which simplifies stock and reduces changeover time. It can be combined with soil release and easy-care systems in one bath.

Typical users include cotton fabric mills, home textile finishers, apparel fabric producers and brands that specify water repellency on cotton. TDS, samples and technical support are available on request.
