Eco Clay can also help reduce the need for additional auxiliaries in treatment baths i.e. wetting, sequestering, demineralising and stabilising agents, surfactants, lubricants, softeners and defoamers, the company said in a media release.
The clay-based sourcing agent is compatible with alpha amylases in the de-sizing bath, boosts the Tegewa rating and is stable with electrolytes and hardness present in the water. Due to its unique natural chemistry and good sequestering and dispersing power, it helps avoid precipitation of insoluble salts in bleaching baths and prevents scaling on the rollers of steam and wash boxes.
With distinctive wash performance and instant absorbency properties, it retains whiteness index with reduced usage of caustic while improving the bursting strength of the fabric. Action on natural pigment drastically enhances whiteness during the bleaching process. A dose of 0.5-1.2 per cent for exhaust application is the recommended dosage of Eco Clay.
Anil Gaikwad, business head, Cosmo Speciality Chemicals said, “We thrive to make innovative products and we will always try our best to drive meaningful innovation for the textile industry to deliver new solutions at a quicker pace to a broader audience. Because of its mechanical shearing on fabrics, Eco clay helps to remove oils, dirt, greases etc. The product lowers the maintenance time and cost while increasing the shelf-life of machines. Being an eco-friendly product, it is non-toxic to all aquatic organisms.”
