SIRRIX®

Sequestering and dispersing agents

Our SIRRIX® neutralizing and sequestering agents are strong and flexible to ensure consistent textile quality. Neutralizing agents adjust the pH during dyeing or finishing to help prevent fiber damage, while sequestering agents bind metal ions to prevent them from interfering with textile processing.

SIRRIX® NE is a strong universal neutralizing agent made up multiple organic acids that work together to allow efficient and precise control across the whole pH range. With no blocking buffer, it is able to go beyond surface-level pH issues to neutralize the core of the acid or alkaline molecules. SIRRIX® NE is biodegradable and does not contain phosphorus or nitrogen.

Sustainable towels in 100% cotton are on-trend, especially if they offer lasting colors and optimal softness, freshness and absorbency—all while using fewer resources.

Super Systems+

Swimwear

You can now save manufacturing resources while delivering deep shades and striking contrasts on fabrics that resist fading and running.

Super Systems+

Outdoor Wear

Delivering comfort, durability and weather protection in a fast-evolving compliance landscape is a challenge that demands constant innovation.

Super Systems+

Athletic Wear

Polyester fibers and blends elevate performance and comfort for athletes, with durability, safety and sustainability now in play too.

Super Systems+
