Precision in Every Wash — Neutralising Alkali and Hardness the Smart Way

A collection of colorful clothing on racks in a retail store setting.

Texaux’s range of alkali neutralisers and sequestering agents ensure optimum pH control and metal-ion removal for flawless textile processing.

The Foundation of Consistent Textile Processing

Alkali residues and metal ions are hidden enemies of consistent textile processing. They interfere with dye absorption, cause uneven shades, and lead to quality rejections.
Texaux Chemicals’ Core Alkali Neutralisers and Sequestering Agents are formulated to neutralise residual alkali and bind hardness-causing ions like calcium, magnesium, and iron — resulting in uniform shades, softer feel, and longer fabric life.

Why Choose Texaux Neutralisers & Sequestering Agents?

  • ⚖️ Perfect pH Balance — Ensures complete alkali neutralisation after scouring or bleaching.

  • 💧 Removes Hardness Ions — Chelates Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Fe³⁺, preventing precipitates.

  • 🧵 Improves Dyeing Consistency — Achieves uniform shades across batches.

  • 🌿 Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable — Free from EDTA and phosphates.
