How Can You Reduce the Cost of Fabric Softeners While Improving Their Performance?

By replacing esterquats with silicones. Thanks to their exceptional softening power, silicones can be used as a replacement for much larger amounts of esterquats, thus reducing raw material consumption while cutting your energy and heating costs.

Additionally, silicones improve the quality of the final product, making fabrics softer, easier to iron and overall easier to care for.

How Does Easy Ironing Sound to You?

Our silicone-based additives for fabric softeners and ironing sprays reduce the friction between the fabric and the iron, making ironing easier and faster.

How Do You Prolong the Life of Fabrics and Clothing?
