MESITOL® Bio-Fix is a bio-based and vegan solution for the after-treatment of polyamide and its blends. This development is a major breakthrough for the textile industry as TANATEX is the first one to provide such a solution which does not contain any kind of Bisphenol, Phenol and Formaldehyde. Instead, we’ve replaced these normally ‘key substances’ with bio-based materials whilst still being able to achieve the market’s required fastness results as well as complying to all ecological requirements.
