Functional Textile Finishing Agents are chemicals used to modify the properties of textiles. These agents are used to improve the appearance, feel, and performance of fabrics. They can be applied to the surface of the fabric or incorporated into the fibers. Common functional textile finishing agents include softeners, wrinkle-resistant agents, flame retardants, water repellents, and antimicrobial agents. Softeners are used to improve the hand feel of fabrics, making them softer and more comfortable to wear. Wrinkle-resistant agents are used to reduce the amount of wrinkling in fabrics, making them easier to care for. Flame retardants are used to reduce the flammability of fabrics, making them safer to use. Water repellents are used to make fabrics more resistant to water, making them more suitable for outdoor use. Antimicrobial agents are used to reduce the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms on fabrics, making them more hygienic. Some companies in the Functional Textile Finishing Agents market include Huntsman Corporation, BASF, Clariant, and DyStar. Show Less Read more
