Fresh smelling textiles from Huntsman

15/05/2008

Switzerland-based chemicals provider for the textile industry Huntsman Textile Effects has launched Invasan RCD which, when applied to textiles, offers a fresh look and smell. The effect can be applied to all types of textile including active wear, casual wear, intimate apparel and home textiles.

The technology is derived from sugar, so it is natural and safe to use. It uses small capsules bonded to cotton during fabric processing, which get charged with the scent from detergent or fabric softener during washing. As moisture and temperature increases during wear, these scents are slowly released providing the wearer with a lasting, freshly laundered scent.
