Textile Chemicals 

Processing of textile materials involves the use of various types of compounds to perform various functions. These compounds are known as textile auxiliaries or textile chemicals. These chemicals or auxiliaries are used not only to increase the efficiency of textile processing but also to produce special finishing effects. Thus some textile auxiliaries are added during certain operations as processing aids, and are subsequently removed. These type of auxiliaries are used in spinning, weaving, scouring, bleaching, dyeing etc. and are temporary in nature. Textile auxiliaries of the second type continue to form an integral part of the material being processed by way of either chemical reaction with the textile substrate or mechanical deposition, these are of the permanent type and are usually employed in the finishing processes. Finishing auxiliaries are used to produce special effects such as wash wear, water repellency, flame retardency etc. 

Advantages of using textile auxiliaries are

Ø Saving of time by shortening the process

Ø Saving in labor

Ø   Reduction in cost

Ø Improvement in quality

Ø Development of special finishing effects.
