This is the Group’s original sector (PRO-TEX comes from TEXtile PROducts to make PROTEX INTERNATIONAL). Our Group still designs and manufactures auxiliary textile products for textile preparation, dying, printing, priming, coating, for “denim” and for technical fabrics. We also propose innovative new solutions for these various different processes.
Our sales teams include textile specialists, providing a key advantage and a guarantee of quality for our clients.
Every industry uses textiles, the most versatile of all materials, and PROTEX can provide tried and tested technical expertise in the most innovative sectors, and for a wide range of different markets :
Adhesion promoter
Additives which improve the adherence of a formulation (adhesives, paints, etc.) on a substrate
Anti-migration
Additives which prevent pigment or dye migration
Anti-slip
Additives which prevent textile filaments from slipping
Anti-static
Additives which prevent electro-static build-up
Catalyst
Additives which accelerate the chemical reaction of 2 components, improving system performance and reducing drying time
Concentrated formulation base
A concentrated formulation base
Corrosion inhibitor
Additives which help to prevent corrosion
Defoamers and air release
Additives to prevent or destroy foaming which can occur during the manufacture or application of a product.
Dispersing
Additives to help disperse and stabilise pigments or solid particles in a liquid formulation during the manufacturing process. They can also be used to disperse fertlizers in watr-based formulations.
Dye fixative stripper
Additives which remove the fixing agent and helps strip out dyes
Elasticity
Additives which enhance fibre elasticity
Fire retardant
Additives which enhance fire resistance
Fixing
Additives which help fix a dye to the surface of a textile
Lubricant
Additives which help reduce surface tension between two materials
Odour masking agent
An additive which helps mask or eliminate bad smells
Printing auxiliary
Additives which help enhance the print quality of a textile fibre
Resin
A polymer which provides the desired mechanical properties to a formulation.
Sequestrant
Additives which react with free Ca/Mg ions and metallic ions and prevent them from negatively impacting product performance, appearance or stability.
Softener
Additives which provide a softer touch to a textile fabric or to a paper.
Stabiliser, Buffer
Additives which help stabilise a formulation or pH
VOC scavenger
Additives which absorb or prevent the release of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) such as formaldehydes and acetaldehydes.
Water-repellent
Additives which help make a substance water-repellent, creating a protective film.
Wetting
Additives which improve the wetting of substrates by modifying the surface tension of a formulation.
The textile industry is subject to particularly strict regulatory scrutiny. This is why our subsidiary PROTEX works hard to certify their products, and currently has the following certifications:
