Improving the properties of textile fibers

Stabilization of fibers can prevent degradation, promote structural integrity and reduce damage. Quality fibers require tough additives like BASF's inorganic chemicals.

Examples of applications include:

Sodium Sulfite and Sodium Metabisulfite

  • Solubilizing raw materials
  • Addition to coagulant baths
  • Bleaching
  • Removing sulfur from yarn
