Used across multiple stages of textile processing, these agents help remove oils, waxes, and particulates while stabilizing dye baths. Their widespread use means sustainability improvements here can yield significant environmental benefits. Advancements include nonionic surfactants, low-foaming formulations, and agents tailored for minimal rinse requirements. Suppliers are focusing on formulations that meet biodegradability thresholds and avoid substances flagged by regulatory bodies. B2B directories help decision-makers identify formulations that meet environmental, health, and performance benchmarks.
