Fibres and textiles
Croda offers a range of speciality finishes and additives to aid processing, functionalisation and differentiation of fibre and fabrics in applications. Our long-standing history in textile auxiliaries has led to the development of an extensive product portfolio for applications throughout the textile processing chain and more recently exploring benefits for consumers through offering performance ingredients. This includes:
- phase change materials that assist with thermal regulation;
- permanent anti-static additives to prevent cling from garments; and
- improved moisture management that greatly increases the capabilities of garments to draw moisture away from the skin.
