Applications

PET is the base polymer melted and spun into staple fiber and filament yarn, with titanium dioxide added during extrusion to control fiber luster.

Sodium sulphate is used as an electrolyte to drive dye exhaustion onto cotton and blended fabrics in reactive dyeing baths.

PET fiber forms the base for spunbond and needle-punched nonwovens used in geotextiles, filtration, and hygiene products.

PET/cotton blends rely on consistent fiber quality and dyeing auxiliaries like sodium sulphate for even shade across blended yarns.

Titanium dioxide provides opacity in white and pastel pigment printing pastes used for patterns on dark or colored base fabrics.

Delustering / opacifying agent
Acts as a delustering agent added during fiber extrusion to reduce fiber shine, and as a white opacifying pigment in printing pastes.
<1% (fiber delustering); higher in print paste
