The dream of never having to iron again can also be realized with high-quality finishing products from BASF. With their aid, textile manufacturers achieve a very good crease angle, non-ironing, high dimensional stability and a particularly soft handle. BASF customers can employ the products more efficiently in manufacture, which gives them a strategic advantage over competitors.
Protecting resources and the environment
Furthermore, BASF solutions help protect the environment. For example, Cyclanon XC-W, a newly launched soaping agent for reactive dyeings, improves the quality of washing off and significantly reduces the effort of producing dyeings. By considerably lessening water and energy consumption, Cyclanon XC-W protects valuable resources and slashes production costs.
BASF determines which products and processes are economically and ecologically most appropriate by means of an eco-efficiency analysis. The company is constantly developing and adapting this analytical tool to meet new requirements. One of the processes successfully tested by this analysis was the BASF size-recycling system, which both protects the environment and cuts costs. BASF's ecologically superior pigment printing system, which achieves the brilliance, soft handle and fastness level of reactive prints, also performed very well in the eco-efficiency analysis.
