Tanatex launches new product for whiteness retention in polyamide fabrics
19/06/2015
According to the Dutch company, this new product will prevent the yellowing of polyamide and polyamide-elastane fabrics and forms part of a series of products it has brought to market as part of what it calls its “extreme whiteness concept”.
Tanatex has said its goal is to achieve “the maximum degree of whiteness and to keep it for a long period”. The concept offers solutions during all phases in the production process. Pre-treatment with a special optical brightening agent ensures high standards of (wet) lightfastness and fastness to chlorinated water. A new auxiliary prevents problems related to yellowing, caused by antioxidants and stabilisers present in packaging materials, for example.
