Textile Chemistry

Silicones are multiple used in the area of textile finishing. They improve the wearing comfort of synthetic and organic fibres, keep the breathability or protect - if required - against penetration of moisture.

Organic modified Silicones are used as basic products in the formulation of textile auxiliaries.
