SOLUTIONS  ·  COMPOUND SIZING<\/p>\n

Compound Sizing Agents<\/h1>\n

One cooked sizing chemical, built on native maize starch modified in our own plant. It replaces the starch, binder and lubricant a mill would otherwise blend on the floor, with no PVA and nothing that survives the wash.<\/p>\n

WHAT IT IS<\/p>\n

Fewer variables in the size box<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

A conventional recipe is assembled on the floor. Starch from one supplier, a binder from another, a lubricant on top, proportioned by whoever is on shift. Every one of those is a variable.<\/p>\n

A compound grade arrives already cooked to a fixed recipe. Nothing is proportioned at the mill. Viscosity and film behaviour stay where they were the last time the beam ran.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

WHY MILLS SWITCH<\/p>\n

Sized for the loom, judged at the wash box<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

A size that weaves well and washes off badly moves the cost downstream rather than removing it. This range is built to pass both tests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

No PVA, no binders<\/h3>\n

Native maize starch rather than a synthetic film former, so what comes off the fabric is starch rather than something the treatment plant has to deal with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Easier desizing<\/h3>\n

Desizes with the regular enzymatic process. No separate route, no separate chemistry, no extra pass.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Time and resources saved<\/h3>\n

One cooked product instead of three components proportioned on the floor, so batch-to-batch consistency holds and reruns stop being a source of waste.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Sustainability targets met<\/h3>\n

Biodegradability from 80 to 100 percent, lower COD and higher BOD, and OEKO-TEX, GOTS and ZDHC Level 3 documentation ready for the audit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

From warp beam to clean desizing<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Eight stages, from warp beam through to desizing, and the sizing box is only one of them. Recipe consistency decides whether the loom runs or stops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
