Textile & Lifestyle Product Applications
Spandex
Spandex, a polyether-polyurea copolymer, is susceptible to chlorine degradation from swimming pools. Kisuma hydrotalcites are employed here to stabilize fibers, preserving swimwear integrity.
Suitable Products
PVC & Plastisol
In the production of coated fabrics like tents and tarpaulins, base textiles are immersed in PVC plastisol to enhance end-product performance for outdoor use. Kisuma's ALCAMIZER™ 1 is a perfect additive to enhance weathering properties, bolstering durability.
Artificial Leather
In the creation of artificial leather, PVC stabilizers play a crucial role. By infusing the base textile with PVC plastisol, the end product's performance is elevated, making it suitable for outdoor use owing to improved weather resistance.
