So What Are Textile Auxiliaries?
Textile auxiliaries are chemical substances used in textile processing that can significantly improve the properties and quality of textiles. For example, they can impart softness, wrinkle resistance, shrinkage resistance, water repellency, antimicrobial properties, antistatic properties and flame retardancy to textiles.
What Are the Functions of Textile Auxiliaries?
Textile auxiliaries enhance the performance of textiles in a number of ways:
Improving quality
Enhancing the overall quality of textiles by optimizing dyeing uniformity, improving color fastness and enhancing mechanical strength.
Saving energy
Reducing energy and water consumption by improving processes.
Reduce costs
Lower production expenses through enhanced productivity alongside decreased scrap rates.
Imparting special functions
Textiles obtain special features like antimicrobial protection and fire resistance as well as water resistance to fulfill distinct performance needs.

- Specialty & Functional Applications
Pre-Treatment Stage
In cotton fabric processing, desizing agents and scouring agents are commonly applied in jet or jigger machines to remove starch and natural waxes, ensuring even dye penetration. Oil removers and wetting agents are used extensively in polyester knits to eliminate spinning oils and improve water absorbency, enabling cleaner and more efficient dyeing. Enzyme-based pretreatment is increasingly adopted for eco-friendly preparation of cellulosic fabrics, offering better biodegradation and surface uniformity.
Dyeing Stage
During the dyeing of polyester sportswear, dispersing agents and leveling agents are essential to achieve vibrant, uniform colors with reduced staining on synthetic fibers. In reactive dyeing of cotton shirts, auxiliaries help maintain pH stability and prevent patchy coloration. For blended fabrics, specialized auxiliaries ensure balanced dye uptake across multiple fiber types, critical in fashion and home textile production.
Finishing Stage
In the finishing line of towel and bedding manufacturing, silicone softeners are applied to impart a silky, voluminous touch that lasts through multiple washes. Softener flakes are widely used in denim finishing to give garments a smooth and pliable feel. These products not only enhance comfort but also add value to the final textile product.
Specialty & Functional Applications
In white dress shirts and curtains, fluorescent whitening agents are used to achieve high brightness and visual appeal. Color-fixing agents are indispensable in children's clothing and uniform production to improve wash and rub fastness. Dirt-proof agents are often used in table linens and workwear, helping repel stains and maintain cleanliness over time.
