PRECURSOR TANAFINISH™ HPX

PRECURSOR TANAFINISH™ HPX

TANA®FINISH HPX is specially developed for hydrodynamic finishes on synthetic fibres, to counter the normally lower wear-comfort of textiles made out of synthetics. TANA®FINISH HPX is useful for e.g. sportswear and other performance apparel, but is also applicable on non-wovens and other technical articles to yield long-lasting absorbency. TANA®FINISH HPX is also effective as soil-releasing finishing for PES fiber and its blends. TANA®FINISH HPX is a special hydrophilic polymer with high affinity to PES fiber. TANA®FINISH HPX forms a hydrophilic protective layer on PES fiber surface which prevents dirt from adhering to fiber and can therefore be easily removed during laundering.

  • Yields excellent absorbency on synthetics, such as 100% PES, 100% PA and their blends
  • Improves the humidity transport of the textile
  • Excellent antistatic and soil-releasing properties of polyester
  • Durable to mild washing
  • No yellowing when applied separately
