The textile industry is increasingly prioritizing sustainability without compromising on performance. A key area of focus for manufacturers and formulators is the selection of eco-friendly chemical auxiliaries, particularly printing thickeners. As a forward-thinking manufacturer and supplier, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to offer advanced APEO-free textile printing thickeners that deliver both environmental responsibility and exceptional print quality.

Understanding APEO and Its Impact

APEOs, or Alkylphenol Ethoxylates, are surfactants commonly used in various industrial applications, including textile auxiliaries. However, they are known to break down into persistent and toxic substances like Alkylphenols in the environment. Regulatory bodies worldwide are increasingly restricting or banning their use due to these environmental concerns. This has driven the demand for APEO-free alternatives across the textile supply chain.

The Advantages of APEO-Free Textile Thickeners

Switching to APEO-free printing thickeners offers significant advantages for textile manufacturers and printers:

  • Environmental Compliance: Using APEO-free products helps manufacturers meet stringent environmental regulations and certifications (like ZDHC, GOTS, bluesign®), which are crucial for market access and brand reputation.
  • Reduced Environmental Footprint: By eliminating APEOs, the chemical footprint of textile printing is reduced, contributing to cleaner water discharge and a healthier ecosystem.
  • Enhanced Health and Safety: APEO-free formulations are generally safer for workers handling the chemicals, improving workplace safety standards.
  • Performance Parity (or Superiority): Modern APEO-free thickeners are engineered to match or even exceed the performance of traditional APEO-containing products. Our innovative acrylic acid-based macromolecule thickener, for example, provides excellent viscosity control, stability, and vibrant color yield without the environmental drawbacks.
