Suitable flame retardants are designed to delay the spread of flames in the event of a fire, giving people at risk more time to rescue or extinguish the fire or to escape.

CHT offers these flame retardants under the name APYROL.

In addition to their effectiveness in the event of fire, modern flame retardants are also subject to increasingly stringent requirements in terms of environmental compatibility. This applies from production to processing and application.

The CHT Group also offers ecological alternatives to the classic antimony/halogen-containing products, so-called "green" flame retardants based on P-N or inorganic Mg or Al compounds.

As true all-rounders, they are more in demand than ever in many areas of application. Thanks to their exceptional material properties, they can even fulfil extreme requirements.

With TUBCOSIL, the CHT Group has developed silicone coatings that can be applied to almost all textiles and nonwovens. They are primarily used in the field of technical textiles, where they fulfil the highest technical requirements in terms of resistance, mechanics, haptics and appearance.

The TUBCOSIL products are 2-component systems that are mixed in the specified mixing ratio and cross-linked in a polyaddition reaction. This means that the solvent-free 100% systems are also interesting from an ecological point of view.

Sustainable applications are more in demand in the textile industry today than ever before.

Our TUBICOAT PET-H, a hard polyester-based polymer dispersion, is ideally suited for environmentally friendly, sustainable stiffeners. Thanks to its application on PES materials and the resulting purity, the finished products can be recycled more easily and returned to the material cycle.

TUBICOAT PET-H is used for stiffening and coating polyester fabrics and nonwovens.

As TUBICOAT PET-H itself is made of polyester, the finished products can be declared as unmixed, recycled and returned to the material cycle. Whether for carpets, filters or luggage nets.

This is how sustainability works.

RECYCLED SILICONES FOR NEW TEXTILES.

With TUBINGAL® RISE, the CHT Group has developed the first textile softener
from recycled silicones. In the spirit of the circular economy
"end-of-life" silicones are recycled and combined with emulsifiers made from
emulsifiers from renewable raw materials to create a new hydrophilic softener.
plasticiser. Its product quality is identical to a silicone plasticiser

Recycling with a high-quality result

Based on recycled silicone and emulsifiers from renewable raw materials
Hydrophilic silicone softener, microemulsion
Soft, flowing feel with special core softness
Very good rewettability of the finished articles
Improved sewability
Improved tear resistance
Can be applied using the padding process

One softener for all fibre types

TUBINGAL® RISE is suitable for all types of fibres and can therefore be used in the following textile applications:

leisurewear
sports textiles
outdoor clothing
home textiles

The ECOPERL product range fulfils all requirements for modern and innovative PFC-free water repellents. Renewable raw materials have been optimised as the basis for waxes and fluorine-free polymers for the best water repellency and permanence. Suitability for various standards such as ZDHC, Bluesing, GOTS, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and an MHC for C2C are a matter of course and emphasise the CHT Group's commitment to sustainability.

Two new developments offer special performance in various fields of application:

ECOPERL YWR is a versatile water repellent for yarns with excellent water absorption stop. The finish is highly resistant to all types of friction that occur during the sewing, knitting and weaving process.

ECOPERL DCR is a highly effective water repellent for the padding finish of all fibre types and offers outstanding resistance to domestic laundering and dry cleaning
