A new family of products for pretreatment make it easier for textile processors to conform to eco-directives
In addition to Annex 38 of the Waste-Water Ordinance, the ECOFIT pretreatment range fully conforms to the voluntary regulations of textile auxiliary manufacturers (in the TEGEWA Association) who classify all auxiliaries into three categories according to their significance as waste- water pollutants. None of the ECOFIT pretreatment agents falls into Class III - products that are highly significant as waste-water pollutants. Dr Ingrid Steenken-Richter - Product Safety and Environmental Protection, Performance Chemicals for Textiles, BASF - says, "Textiles treated with ECOFIT products also fulfil the specifications of Öko-Tex Standard 100 and the EU European Flower label, the two most significant internationally recognized eco-labels of the textile industry."
