Textile processing - Pre-treatment

All textiles fibres, be they natural or synthetic require various physical and chemical treatment to convert them into textile garments or carpets suitable for use by the consumer. The first stage in this process is to clean the fibres (scouring or pre-treatment), natural fibres require more cleaning than synthetic fibres as natural fibres such as cotton contain waxes etc which must be removed prior to any processing. In the case of wool, some wools will contain up to 45% of its own weight of contaminants.

Poor pre-treatment can give rise to many down- stream problems and BIP has a range of cost effective pre-treatment formulations, which have been specifically, developed to give consistent results under a wide range of conditions. BIP can also provide on the design of pre-treatment systems to reduce process time and water consumption.
