 Preface
Textile products are an integral part of almost every commercial and
consumer industry. Textiles are used in packaging, insulation, tire rein-
forcement, carpeting, upholstery, clothing, sporting goods, medical prod-
ucts, etc. Textile processing and finishing chemicals represent a $2.4
billion a year global industry. These chemicals, used in the processing
of a variety of textile materials, are a vital determinant in the end product’s
quality as well as the economy of the overall manufacturing process,
including the disposal of effluents from the textile mills.
This reference profiles more than 11,000 trade name and generic chemi-
cals and materials used in textile fiber and fabric preparation, process-
ing, dyeing, finishing, and effluent treatment. Coverage includes chemi-
cals and materials that function as: Adhesives; Anticreasing agents;
Antifoams; Antioxidants; Antishrinking agents; Antislip agents, Antisoaping
agents; Antistats, Binders; Biocides; Bleaching agents; Carriers; Chelat-
ing agents; Coning oils; Corrosion inhibitors; Deaerating agents;
Delustrants; Desizing agents; Dyeing assistants; Dye fixing agents; Dis-
persants; Emulsifiers; Fiber protectants;Finishing agents; Flame retar-
dants; Foaming aids; Fulling agents; Leveling agents; Lubricants; Mer-
cerizing assistants; Oil repellants;Optical brighteners; Oxidizing agents;
Penetrants; Preservatives; Protective colloids; Reducing agents; Res-
ins; Retarding agents; Scouring agents; Sequestrants; Sizing agents;
Soaping agents; Softeners; Soil repellents; Solvents; Stripping agents;
Thickeners; UV Absorbers; Warp sizes; Washing agents; Waterproofing
agents; Water repellents; Wetting agents; Whitening agents.
The Handbook of Textile Processing Chemicals is designed to
function as a selection tool for deciding which is the most appropriate
textile functional additive to use in formulation, processing, and waste
treatment. This reference centralizes information on these currently
available chemicals and materials from major manufacturers by profiling
both trade name and generic chemicals, detailing their properties, uses,
use levels, regulatory status, toxicology, sources for purchase, etc.
This reference is organized so that the reader can access information on
these functional chemicals based on the trade name, chemical composi-
tion, function and application area, manufacturer, CAS number, and
EINECS/ELINCS number. It is divided into four parts and includes four
important Appendixes.
Part I—Trade Name Reference provides an alphabetical listing on
more than 8700 trade name chemicals and materials that are used in
processing of textile materials. Each entry includes the manufacturer’s
name; chemical/material description; its detailed functions and applica-
tions in all aspects of industry; physical properties, such as form, molecu-
lar weight, density, solubility, boiling point, cloud point, flash point, pH,
freezing point, activity; toxicology, storage, precautions, etc.
Part II—Chemical Component Cross-Reference covers more than
2700 chemicals and materials that are contained in the trade name
products profiled in Part I or generic chemicals that are not linked to trade
names but are used in textiles. Each entry contains information including
the following: CAS (Chemical Abstract Service), EINECS/ELINCS (Eu-
ropean Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances/Euro-
pean List of Notified Chemical Substances), and UN/DOT reference
numbers, classification, definition, chemical synonyms, empirical and
molecular formulas, properties, toxicology, precautions, storage, uses,
use level, regulatory details, manufacturers and distributors. All chemi-
cal/material synonyms are cross-referenced back to the main entry.
These entries are followed by a listing of the trade name products that
are either equivalent to the monograph entry or contain it as one or more
of its ingredients.
Part III—Functional/Application Index is a powerful tool for locating
the trade names and chemicals based on their function and/or industrial
application area. By searching for key functional words related to textile
processing such as emulsifier, fixing agent, flame retardant, optical bright-
ener, scouring agent, and specific application areas such as fabric fin-
ishes, dyeing, warp sizes, fiber lubricants, etc., the user is directed to the
trade names and/or chemicals that have that specific functional/applica-
tion attribute. The generic component names are distinguished from the
trade names by italic type.
Part IV—Manufacturers Directory contains detailed contact informa-
tion for the more than 2000 worldwide manufacturers and their branches
of trade name products and chemical components that are referenced in
this handbook. Wherever possible, telephone, telefax, toll-free num-
bers, e-mail and internet addresses, and complete mailing addresses
are included for each manufacturer.
Appendixes
CAS Number Index contains CAS number entries followed by a listing
of their trade name product and chemical equivalents in alphabetical
order. The chemical name is in boldfaced type.
EINECS/ELINCS Number Index contains EINECS/ELINCS number
entries followed by a listing of their trade name product and generic
chemical equivalents in alphabetical order. The chemical name is in
boldfaced type.
Glossary contains definitions of terminology associated with textile addi-
tive and processing chemicals and their application areas.
We are confident that those involved in formulating textiles will find this
compendium an important addition to their reference library We are also
vii
pleased to provide this reference as an electronic product.
This reference is the culmination of many years of research, investiga-
tion of product sources acquired through personal contacts and corre-
spondences with major chemical manufacturers worldwide, as well as
toxicological databases, chemical reference books, trade magazines
and journals.
We would especially like to express our gratitude to Roberta Dakan for
her contribution to standardizing the entry format and managing the
trade name and chemical database that represents the basis of this and
future chemical references. Her untiring efforts have been instrumental
in the production of this source book.
