Textile chemicals can offer a number of benefits when used in the production process. They can help to improve the strength, durability, and feel of fabrics; they can give fabrics fire retardant qualities; they can help make fabrics more stain-resistant; and some textiles even have antimicrobial properties. Additionally, textile chemicals are often non-toxic and biodegradable, meaning they don’t have an adverse effect on the environment when disposed of responsibly.
