AN ECO-FRIENDLY
TEXTIL SOLUTION
Conventional textile industry bleaching and pretreatment processes consume vast amounts of water and energy. Textil Santanderina ceaselessly works to reduce these processes’ environmental impact by decreasing chemical use and lowering water and energy consumption. The outcome is higher quality processed materials.
INNOVATION AND CHANGE
WATER AND ENERGY SAVINGS
Water consumption reduced by 30–43%, with steam usage lowered by up to 43%.
FEWER CHEMICALS
Caustic soda use reduced by 20–40%, and hydrogen peroxide use by 35%.
HIGHER FABRIC QUALITY
Enhanced durability, greater abrasion resistance, and reduced pilling achieved by integrating bio-based products into the process.
HOW WE DO IT
BLEACHING RECIPE OPTIMIZATION
Simplification of the bleaching recipe to minimize water use and improve the bleaching concept.
BIO-BASED STABILIZERS
Introduction of TANNEX® EP 1095, a bio-based stabilizer that improves bleaching stability and reduces environmental impact.
BENEFITS
FIBER STABILITY AND STRENGTH
The implemented systems enhance fabric strength and reduce pilling by preventing excessive saponification in cellulosic fibers. They also reduce microfiber release into the environment.
IMPACT ON WASTEWATER
Lower chemical and biological oxygen demand in wastewater, facilitating biodegradability.
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
The introduction of a new range of biodegradable, organicbased stabilizers ensures zero phosphorus discharge into wastewater, contributing decisively to environmental protection.
