Import Fabric Smoothning — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in India

Fabric smoothing agents from Elkay Chemicals Private Limited are liquid or emulsion-based formulations designed to reduce surface friction and static in textile fabrics during and after processing. These agents are applied via padding, spraying, or exhaust methods in textile finishing lines. The product is formulated to work on cotton, polyester, and cotton-polyester blends, with a pH range of 5.5 to 7.0 for compatibility with standard textile dye baths. The formulation contains non-ionic silicone derivatives and cationic quaternary ammonium compounds, as indicated by the supplier’s technical notes.

The agent is engineered to impart a soft hand feel without compromising fabric breathability or colorfastness. It is compliant with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class II for direct skin contact, and it does not contain formaldehyde, phosphates, or heavy metals. Typical industry applications require a dosage of 10 to 30 grams per liter of rinse water, depending on fabric weight and desired finish. The agent retains effectiveness after up to 20 industrial wash cycles, which aligns with standard durability benchmarks for textile softeners in garment manufacturing.

This product is primarily purchased by textile finishers in South Asia and Southeast Asia who supply ready-made garments to global retailers. Buyers typically order in bulk quantities of 200 kg or more, packaged in 25 kg HDPE drums or 1000 kg IBC totes. Trade terms are commonly FOB Mumbai or CIF port of destination. Lead time is generally 7 to 14 days after payment confirmation. Buyers should request a technical data sheet and safety data sheet before first order.
