Key Features
- Engineered Water Solubility
- Eco-Friendly
- Processing Compatability
- Soft Tactility
- Versatile Forms
- Easily Customizable
Potential Applications
- Zero-Twist Towels: Enables the production of plush, highly absorbent towels by providing a removable, structural support that creates hollowness and extra softness.
- High Count Yarns or Fabrics: Helps with the manufacture of fine, densely constructed yarns and fabrics by supporting delicate fibers during spinning and weaving, dissolving away afterwards.
- Tactile Fabrics: Adds a soft, fluffy hand-feel to finished textiles, thanks to the loft and hollowness created once the fibers are washed out.
- Lace and Embroidery Backing: Acts as a temporary, fully water-soluble stabilizer for intricate lace and embroidery work, making removal simple and residue-free.
