What Are Formaldehyde-Free Fixing Agents
Release time：2025-12-08
In the textile dyeing and finishing industry, fixing agents are important chemical auxiliaries that ensure the strong bonding of dyes to fibers. Formaldehyde-free fixing agents, as the name suggests, are fixing agents that do not contain formaldehyde and are a green alternative to traditional fixing agents. While ensuring color fastness, they avoid the potential harm of formaldehyde to human health and the environment.
From a product definition perspective, this type of fixing agent is mainly composed of inorganic or organic chemically modified components, which enhance the bonding ability between dyes and fiber molecules through chemical reactions. Unlike formaldehyde-containing fixing agents, it does not rely on formaldehyde to cross-link fibers, but rather forms stable bonds with dye molecules through active groups, thereby improving color fastness and wash fastness.
This type of fixing agent usually has low toxicity and low odor, making it safer for workers and reducing formaldehyde emissions in dyeing and finishing wastewater, thus being environmentally friendly. It comes in various forms, including liquid, powder, or emulsion, suitable for different types of dyeing and finishing processes and equipment.
In terms of functional characteristics, it not only improves the adsorption efficiency of dyes on the fiber surface but also maintains the soft feel of the fabric without affecting subsequent finishing processes. It has good chemical stability and can maintain its performance under high temperature or long-term dyeing conditions, ensuring the firm adhesion of dyes.
In summary, the core definition of Formaldehyde-free fixing agents is: a fixing agent that does not contain formaldehyde and achieves stable bonding between dyes and fibers through chemical modification or the action of active groups. Its emergence marks an upgrade in textile dyeing and finishing towards safety, environmental protection, and high performance, and is an important product foundation for modern textile enterprises to achieve green production.
