Polyester

Polyester finishing focuses on hand feel, appearance retention, moisture management, and long-term durability. Because polyester is hydrophobic and thermoplastic, finishes must balance surface energy and heat-set stability. Our portfolio includes silicone and non-silicone softeners for smooth or bulky hand; durable water-repellent (PFC-free) systems; soil-release and wicking treatments to convert the surface from hydrophobic to hydrophilic for activewear; anti-pilling and anti-snag additives for filament knits; crease-resist and dimensional-stability aids for improved recovery after heat setting; anti-static and antimicrobial options; and anti-yellowing stabilizers for heat exposure during stentering. These auxiliaries help achieve cleaner surfaces, better drape, quicker drying, and lasting performance across woven and knitted polyester and polyester-blend fabrics.
