Why OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT Matters Today

The OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT was created to ensure that chemical products used in textiles meet the highest global standards for environmental safety, human health, and regulatory compliance. Its mission is clear: remove hazardous substances at the source so that downstream textile processes remain clean, transparent, and trustworthy.

For mills operating across types of looms, producing fabrics for international brands, the ECO PASSPORT ensures that every textile sizing process aligns with responsible production. It protects workers handling sizing solution, safeguards ecosystems affected by effluents, and ensures that every warp and weft entering the weaving process carries chemical integrity.

Sizaltex®: Designed in Alignment with ECO PASSPORT Values

Sizaltex® was not modified to meet sustainability standards - it was built around them. As a revolutionary textile sizing agent, Sizaltex® was engineered to simplify textile preparation while eliminating unnecessary chemical complexity.

Sizaltex® enables mills to:

• Act as a true PVA replacement

• Reduce PVA and other synthetics in sizing recipes

• Remove the need for additional binders and mixers

• Achieve batch-to-batch consistency in textile sizing

This clean-chemistry approach aligns seamlessly with the purpose of the OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT: fewer chemicals, safer handling, and uncompromised performance across warp yarns, weft yarn, and filling yarns.

Eliminating Desizing: A Breakthrough in Sustainable Efficiency

What truly elevates Sizaltex® beyond conventional sizing systems is its ability to eliminate the traditional desizing stage altogether.

Unlike conventional approaches that depend on binders during sizing and enzymes during desizing, Sizaltex®:

• Can be re-sized with a simple hot wash

• Removes the need for enzyme-based desizing

• Improves effluent biodegradability significantly

• Cuts water usage, energy consumption, time, and cost

This innovation transforms the weaving process, proving that sustainability can actively increase operational efficiency rather than slow it down.

Performance Across Weaves, Looms, and Fabrics

OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certification validates Sizaltex® across the full spectrum of textile weaving and fabric construction.

Whether mills are 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

• Complex 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 fabric and viscose rayon fabric

• Rayon fabric

• Cotton blend fabric

• Select polyester fabric systems

By reducing chemical load while improving yarn protection, Sizaltex® ensures that every fabric produced on a weaving machine meets the growing global demand for sustainable textiles.

One Standard for the New Age of Textile Sizing

Receiving the OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT is not an endpoint for Sizaltex® - it is a declaration. It confirms that efficiency, quality, cost control, and environmental responsibility no longer require compromise.

With Sizaltex®:

• Cleaner chemistry enhances weaving efficiency

• Fewer process steps reduce environmental impact

• Safer inputs protect workers and ecosystems

• Performance remains uncompromised across yarn, warp, and weft

From what is a weave to the final weave fabric, Sizaltex® proves that sustainability is not an added feature - it is the foundation.
