results in denim
Denim is a very special fabric. Cognis knows all its secrets, from spinning through to garment finishing. You can get high on so much know how. But with no side effects whatsoever, since our products are developed mainly from natural sources. They make for high speed spinning and weaving. Processing aids from Cognis put you on the fast production track especially those for continuous pretreatment of cotton and cotton mixes. They stand out for their low foaming, rapid wetting and optimal emulsification, and have made us a global market leader. High tech in dyeing is another of our specialties. Our chemicals get Indigo & Co. successfully into the fiber. Which is no easy task, since indigo, being insoluble in water, will only take properly when the chemistry's right. We have the formula to make it do so, to achieve fashionable wash-out effects, for instance. Perpetual prewashing and the environmentally dubious stone-washing method are out. With new enzymatic technologies, backed up by special softeners and smoothing agents, we offer exclusive expertise. Cognis provides high class in softening as well, with processing aids for garment make-up that improve the handle while protecting the textiles from damage. Our Texperts are frontrunners around the world, with comprehensive chemical research and development expertise and process know-how from start to finish. This gives us the insight to grasp all the intricacies of your processes. And since intelligent chemistry and technology are not everything, we also work closely with leading retailers. To make sure that denim will continue to be the stuff that fashion dreams are made of.
