These compounds are critical in locking chemical treatments into textile substrates, enhancing wash and abrasion resistance. However, traditional crosslinkers have often relied on formaldehyde donors or reactive substances with health concerns. The industry is adopting formaldehyde-free, low-temperature-curing, and non-VOC crosslinkers to maintain performance while supporting safer work environments and downstream compliance. These advances also contribute to improved recyclability and reduced process emissions. Sourcing professionals rely on specialized B2B networks to discover compliant, innovative crosslinkers that support both technical demands and environmental mandates.
