Wax Emulsions for Textile Finishing: Softness, Hydrophobics & Anti-Crease Effects

In modern textile processing, wax emulsions play a key role in post-treatment by imparting softness, water repellency, and crease resistance to fabrics without affecting breathability or printability.

Functions in Finishing

• Softening: Silicone-free lubrication

• Water Repellency: Boosts hydrophobic angle up to 130°

• Anti-Crease: Reduces fiber friction during wash-dry cycles

Product Types

• PE-based emulsions: for cotton, polyester

• Carnauba/Natural: for eco-textiles

• Cationic emulsions: for anti-static and wool

Technical Parameters

• Particle size: 100–300 nm

• Solid content: 15–30%

• pH: 3–9 (anionic/cationic available)
