End customers have become extremely demanding regarding the performance of their textiles. However, the industry has to match these new requirements without increasing the price of the final products. From a chemical manufacturer’s point of view, these new demands translate to developing agents that cost less or will decrease the process time. NICCA USA has created a new C6 water repellent and bromine-free fire retardant that are compatible and can be used in the same bath. This agent imparts both properties without damaging the hand of the textile. This paper will explain the chemistry involved and how it answers pressing demands of the textile industry.
