Resil's customers will begin benefiting from these solutions immediately. The first jointly developed Powered by Dow Corning product is already being launched. Resil Innocelle YL is a silicone yarn lubricant that delivers durable softness with the best balance of lubricity and tensile strength.
“In Resil we have found an organization that shares our vision for growth through providing total solutions for customers,” noted Mr. Kapur. “Dow Corning brings our material science capabilities and global presence to the collaboration. Resil supplies market experience and deep understanding of customer needs.”
“These strengths, coupled with our shared expertise in silicon technology, will benefit textile producers and garment finishers across the region with innovative, market-leading products. From the start, Resil management has demonstrated a commitment to the market they serve, and the company has invested in knowledge, people and facilities to back up that commitment.”
Applying the Powered by Dow Corning brand to silicone-based textile finishing productsrepresents a commitment by Dow Corning to help customers, like Resil, who meet specific criteria, put the power of silicone technology and 40 years of textile experience to work for their customers.
“Textile finishing is one of many markets where silicones are used to impart specific performance advantages to products,” Mr. Kapur said. “As part of our collaboration, Resil will enjoy a high level of support from Dow Corning, including a global perspective, formulation development and technical expertise. We are interested in extending these activities to qualified customers in other key markets we serve.”
Silicone based textile and yarn finishing chemicals maker Resil has been a leader in silicone-based and total finishing solutions for textile and garments since 1994.
Dow Corning was established in 1943 specifically to explore the potential of silicones. Today Dow Corning provides performance-enhancing solutions to serve the diverse needs of more than 25,000 customers worldwide.
