Traditional resins in the textile industry often contain formaldehyde. While these chemicals provide wrinkle resistance and dimensional stability to fabrics, they also pose significant long-term disadvantages:
- Environmental Impact: Textiles containing formaldehyde can contaminate water sources when released into wastewater, harming ecosystems.
- Regulatory Compliance Challenges: Strict regulations in the European Union and the United States are making it increasingly difficult to market textile products with high formaldehyde content.
For these reasons, the transition to formaldehyde-free alternatives has become inevitable across the industry.
At CHT, we are leading this transformation with our REAKNITT NFPC and REAKNITT ZFA PLUS S products, which provide formaldehyde-free, safe, and eco-friendly solutions.
REAKNITT NFPC and REAKNITT ZFA PLUS S, with their formaldehyde-free special formulations, contribute to environmentally friendly production processes, helping the textile industry achieve its sustainability goals.
