Mowilith® Emulsions - Emulsions - Clariant

Textile, Leather and Paper
Clariant Emulsions perform important
tasks in the textile, leather and
paper industries. In textiles, for
example, they guarantee wash
fastness, modify the handle from
soft to hard or give dimensional
stability. In leather they help in the
dye fixation and can be applied as a
coating to increase properties like
brightness, handle and flexibility. In
paper they are present in the printing,
coating, binding and lamination.

Let’s take a closer look at the
textile industry. Garments require
wash fastness and firm handling
properties, dimensional stability or
water resistance. Our emulsions are
present in outdoor coatings, home
textiles, vertical blinds, blackout ,
sports articles, protective clothing,
work wear and all kinds of technical
textiles. For the Denim coating,
the use of Dispersions can modify
the handle, the visual effects or
increase the wash resistance.
For the back coating of nonwoven
carpets, tufted carpets and synthetic
grass providing long term durability
and protection. We have the right
dispersion for the manufacturing
of fashion garments, military and
protective clothes or for the complete
construction of sport shoes.
Moving on to the leather industry,
emulsions with different properties
may be used in the manufacture of
leather fiber according to where the
end product will be used: insoles,
ground contact soles, belts or bags.
The uses of emulsions in the
paper industry include coating
for cartons and special papers,
the finishing of filter papers and
decorative, corrugated, wallpaper
and packaging applications.
