Why GOTS Matters to the Global Textile Industry

The Global Organic Textile Standard was established to protect the integrity of organic and responsible textiles throughout the supply chain. Its mission extends beyond fiber certification - GOTS strictly governs every chemical input used during textile weaving, including sizing.

GOTS exists to:

• Eliminate harmful substances such as excessive polyvinyl alcohol and unnecessary synthetics

• Preserve fiber purity across warp and weft

• Protect workers, water systems, and ecosystems

• Enable globally accepted, traceable sustainable textiles

For mills producing cotton fabric, viscose fabric, rayon fabric, or certified cotton blend fabric, GOTS compliance begins long before weaving - it begins with the sizing agent.

Sizaltex: Engineered to Align with GOTS from the Start

Sizaltex was not adapted to meet GOTS requirements - it was engineered around them. As a revolutionary textile sizing agent, it was developed with sustainability as one of its highest design priorities, without compromising weaving efficiency or fabric quality.

Sizaltex enables mills to:

• Act as a reliable PVA replacement

• Reduce PVA and other synthetics from the sizing recipe

• Eliminate additional binders and mixers from the sizing solution

• Achieve batch-to-batch consistency across sets of yarns

This simplified chemistry directly supports GOTS principles by reducing chemical load while improving control across the weaving process.

Eliminating Desizing: A Breakthrough in Sustainable Efficiency

What truly sets Sizaltex apart - and strengthens its alignment with GOTS - is its ability to simplify post-weaving operations.

With Sizaltex:

• Fabrics can be desized with a regular hot wash

• Enzyme-based desizing is no longer required

• Production time, water usage, and energy consumption are significantly reduced

• Effluent biodegradability is dramatically improved

By removing the need for binders during sizing and enzymes during desizing, Sizaltex transforms efficiency into an environmental advantage - proving that sustainability can actively reduce cost and complexity.

Performance Across Weaves, Looms, and Fabrics

GOTS certification reinforces Sizaltex’s suitability across the full spectrum of types of looms and textile weavingapplications.

Whether producing:

• Plain weaving and other basic weaves

• Durable twill fabric through classic twill weave

• Lustrous satin fabric, refined satin weave pattern, or plain satin fabric

• Intricate Jacquard fabric on a Jacquard loom

Sizaltex stabilizes warp thread and weft threads, strengthens weave structures, and ensures consistency across different types of weaves in modern weaving environments.

Designed for the Fabrics of a Sustainable Future

Sizaltex supports a wide range of types of fabric, including:

• Cotton fabric

• Viscose rayon fabric

• Rayon fabric

• Cotton blend fabric

• Select polyester fabric systems within compliant frameworks

By protecting yarn, warp, and weft on every weaving machine, Sizaltex ensures that organic and responsible fabrics retain their integrity from loom to finished roll.

One Standard for the New Age of Textile Sizing

Receiving GOTS certification is not an endpoint - it is a declaration of direction. It confirms that the future of textile sizing chemicals lies in solutions that simplify processes, protect the environment, and deliver uncompromised performance.

With Sizaltex:

• Sustainability strengthens efficiency

• Cleaner chemistry enhances fabric quality

• Fewer process steps reduce environmental impact

• Performance remains consistent across every weave fabric

From what is a weave to the final fabric, Sizaltex proves that sustainability and performance are no longer parallel goals - they are the same path forward.
