Alpenol® TTL and the Textile Sizing Process

Conventional textile sizing chemicals for polyester often rely on polyvinyl alcohol, binders, and complex multi-component recipes. These systems increase variability, chemical load, and operational complexity.

Alpenol® TTL eliminates these constraints.

As a fully compounded, PVA-free PVA replacement, Alpenol® TTL:

• Requires no binders or additional mixers

• Forms a stable, single-component sizing solution

• Simplifies the sizing process while improving reproducibility

This streamlined approach transforms the textile sizing process into a controlled, efficient operation - well suited to modern polyester weaving.

Designed for Polyester and Polyester Blend Fabrics

Alpenol® TTL is optimized for:

• Polyester fabric

• Polyester blend fabric

• Spun yarn constructions across varied counts and densities

Its formulation enhances warp yarn cohesion without stiffness, delivering improved fabric feel directly during weaving—reducing downstream correction requirements.

Consistency, Even at Lower Humid Temperatures

One of the defining advantages of Alpenol® TTL is its ability to perform reliably at lower humid temperatures. This provides mills with:

• Greater operational flexibility

• Reduced dependence on strict atmospheric control

• Stable batch-to-batch consistency in sizing performance

As a fully compounded textile sizing agent, Alpenol® TTL minimizes operator-dependent variability, enabling predictable loom behavior across production runs.

Compatibility with Modern Textile Sizing Machines

Alpenol® TTL integrates seamlessly with advanced textile sizing machine configurations, offering:

• Stable viscosity control

• Uniform pickup on warp yarns

• Clean application with reduced deposits

This makes it ideal for high-speed polyester weaving environments focused on efficiency and scalability.

Sustainability Embedded in the Chemistry

Alpenol® TTL is up to 100% biodegradable and engineered to reduce PVA and other synthetics from polyester sizing. This directly supports:

• Lower chemical load in effluent treatment plants

• Reduced environmental footprint per meter of fabric

• Alignment with the future of sustainable textiles

By combining performance with environmental responsibility, Alpenol® TTL redefines what next-generation sizing chemicals for polyester should achieve.

Alpenol® TTL: A New Benchmark in Polyester Sizing

Alpenol® TTL is more than a product—it is a technology platform for the future of polyester weaving. By simplifying recipes, eliminating PVA, improving fabric feel, and delivering consistent performance, it sets a new standard among textile sizing chemicals.

For mills focused on efficiency, control, and sustainability, Alpenol® TTL represents the next chapter in modern weaving—where chemistry works smarter, cleaner, and in harmony with advanced textile manufacturing.
