Pre Treatment Auxiliaries

Built through four decades of working alongside mills, our pre-treatment portfolio reflects what actually creates consistency under production pressure.

KLARIZYM 

KLARIZYM® is our complete enzymatic range covering every stage where biological catalysis improves fabric preparation.   

Desizing enzymes

Enzymatic desizing breaks down starch-containing sizes applied during weaving, making them water-soluble and easy to wash off. Variants include:

1. Klarizym AHT Conc.
2. Klarizym AHT
3. Klarizym LTH
4. Klarizym AMT
5. Klarizym ALT
6. Klarizym DRT

Biopolishing & fading enzymes

Cellulase-based enzymes that remove surface fuzz and loose fibres from cotton and cellulosic fabrics, producing a cleaner, smoother surface with improved pilling resistance and a brighter visual appearance. Variants include:

1. Klarizym BIO series
2. Klarizym FAD series

Peroxide quenching enzymes

Catalase-based enzymes that rapidly decompose residual hydrogen peroxide after bleaching, converting it to water and oxygen without introducing any chemical residue. 

Variants include: 

1. Klarizym CAT series

Bioscouring enzymes

Pectinase and lipase enzyme systems that remove natural waxes, pectins, and non-cellulosic impurities from the fibre surface, the biological equivalent of alkaline scouring, but conducted at lower temperatures with significantly reduced water and energy consumption. Variants include: 

1. Klarizym BIO SCR series

KLARITOL® 

The KLARITOL® range covers the core surfactant chemistry used in fabric preparation, wetting, scouring, stain removal, and bleaching support.

Wetting cum scouring agents

Combined wetting and scouring agents that simultaneously drive rapid liquor penetration into the fabric while emulsifying and removing fats, waxes, and oils from the fibre surface. Variants include: 

1. KLARITOL® Pro 8700

Stain removing agents

Targeted formulations for breaking down and lifting process stains, grease marks, oil contamination, and preparation residues from fabric prior to bleaching or dyeing. Variaants include: 

1. KLARITOL® SR series

Bleaching aids

Surfactant-based auxiliaries that improve the efficiency of the hydrogen peroxide bleaching bath by ensuring even liquor distribution, reducing surface tension, and improving wettability during the bleach cycle. Variants include: 

1. KLARITOL® BLA series

QUNOX®

In textile processing water, dissolved heavy metals, iron, manganese, and copper, catalyse uncontrolled decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, leading to fibre damage, uneven whiteness, and poor bath stability. 

Sequestering cum chelating agents

Powerful chelating agents that bind and deactivate dissolved metal ions, particularly iron and manganese, present in process water and in the fabric itself from previous processing stages. Variants include: 

1. QUNOX® SEQ series

Peroxide stabilisers

Controls the rate and uniformity of the hydrogen peroxide bleaching reaction at elevated temperatures, typically 90°C to 100°C, ensuring that peroxide is consumed evenly and gradually rather than decomposing rapidly at hot spots. Variants include: 

1. QUNOX® PS Ultra

LUBIMAK®

Protect fabric from mechanical damage and deformation during the high-tension, high-temperature conditions of continuous and exhaust pre-treatment processes. 

Anti-creasing agents

Lubricating auxiliaries that reduce inter-fibre friction during processing in jet, winch, and soft-flow machines, preventing the formation of rope marks, crease lines, and running streaks that are difficult to remove once set. Variants include: 

1. LUBIMAK® AC series
2. LUBIMAK® chelation series

NEUTAX® 

NEUTAX® prepares the substrate for dyeing by neutralising residual peroxide and alkali, helping prevent shade variation and ensuring consistent dye fixation. 

Acid neutralisers

Buffering agents that neutralise residual alkali from scouring and mercerisation, bringing the substrate to the mildly acidic or neutral pH required at the entry to the dye bath. Variants include: 

1. NEUTAX® alkali neutralisers
2. NEUTAX® pH buffer series

Peroxide killers

NEUTAX® rapidly eliminates residual peroxide before dyeing, preventing shade variation and ensuring consistent dye fixation. Variations include: 

1. NEUTAX® peroxide killers

MERCOL® 

MERCOL® products support the mercerisation of cotton and blended fabrics, the treatment with concentrated caustic soda that permanently swells the fibre, increases lustre, improves dye uptake, and enhances dimensional stability. 

Mercerising agents

Penetrating and wetting agents designed to work under the extreme alkaline conditions of mercerisation, concentrated caustic soda at temperatures between 15°C and 20°C. 

1. MERCOL® MRG
2. MERCOL® MRC
3. MERCOL® MWC

KLARITOL® DS 

KLARITOL® DS is a specialist wetting range designed for fabrics that have undergone hydrophobic finishing or have acquired surface hydrophobicity during processing. 

Wetting agents with re-wetting properties

Formulated for applications where rapid, even liquor uptake is required on fabrics that resist initial wetting, including pre-dried greige goods, fabrics with residual spin finish, and substrates with hydrophobic surface treatments. Variants include: 

1. KLARITOL® DS series
