TITAS 2022 will be once again enriched with the presence of HeiQ and its innovative textile technologies. A newly launched, upgraded formula - HeiQ Barrier Eco Dry New, is added to the company’s fluorocarbon-free water repellent technology range and will be one of the highlights.

As urbanisation and modern lifestyles cause an estimated 40 per cent of the global population to be afflicted by allergies, HeiQ recently launched HeiQ Allergen Tech, a finish based on bio-based synbiotic technology to combat inanimate allergens on textiles. It will also be introduced at TITAS, the company said in a press release.

The global call for sustainability has put the textile industry, as the second-highest generator of CO2 emissions, under the spotlight. Most of the marine pollution is caused by non-degradable micro-and nanoparticle emissions from washing clothes and tons of textile items pile up in landfills. Clothing, a potential 8Bn global population by 2023 doesn’t have to be a problem, and HeiQ is driving change in the textile industry so that every player can be part of the solution. In response to the ongoing energy crisis, HeiQ will emphasize the use of HeiQ Clean Tech, a polyester dyeing auxiliary system that helps mills save energy by 30-35 per cent, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of the finished product.

“Both our current technologies and unique pipeline will help worldwide partners and clients to differentiate by providing their customers with meaningful innovation. Our greener, more effective, more durable solutions offer superior odour control, hygiene, comfort and protection to textile products, always in full respect for the environment. Over and above that, we have a dedicated team in Taiwan and a significant presence in Asia to provide the best local support possible,” Mike Mordente, head of HeiQ’s textiles business unit, said.

Within its presence at TITAS 2022, HeiQ will host the seminar “HeiQ’s Innovative Chemical Technologies add Superpowers to your Textiles”, on October 12.
