Products classified under HTS 3809.91.00.00
Textile Finishing Agent for Cotton Fabrics
A water-based emulsion containing silicone polymers and wax used to impart water repellency and softness to cotton fabrics during finishing processes. This preparation accelerates dye fixation and enhances fabric handle in textile manufacturing. Classified under 3808.91.00 because it is specifically formulated for textile industry applications.
Dye Fixing Agent for Synthetic Fibers
Cationic polymer-based preparation that binds reactive dyes to polyester and nylon fabrics, preventing color bleeding during washing. Used in high-temperature dyeing processes in textile mills. Falls under 3809.91.00 as a dye carrier and fixing agent for textile industries.
Wool Scouring Agent Preparation
Non-ionic surfactant blend with emulsifiers for removing lanolin and impurities from raw wool fibers before spinning. Essential in wool processing textile operations. Classified in 3809.91.00 for textile industry-specific scouring preparations.
Flame Retardant Textile Finishing Bath
Phosphorus-nitrogen compound solution applied as pad-dry-cure finish to impart flame resistance to cotton/polyester blend fabrics for curtains and upholstery. Used exclusively in textile finishing lines. 3809.91.00 classification for textile industry finishing agents.
Anti-Pilling Agent for Knitted Fabrics
Enzyme-based preparation that modifies fiber surface of knitted sweaters and jersey fabrics to prevent pill formation during wear. Applied during wet processing in textile mills. Fits 3809.91.00 as textile industry finishing preparation.
Mercerization Alkali Stabilizer for Cotton
Specialty additive that stabilizes caustic soda concentration during mercerization of cotton yarns, improving luster and dye uptake. Critical for premium cotton shirting production. 3809.91.00 for textile wet processing chemicals.
Bio-Polishing Enzyme for Denim Fabrics
Cellulase enzyme preparation that removes protruding fibers from denim fabrics, creating a smooth, clean surface without sanding. Applied in bio-washing textile processes. Classified 3809.91.00 for denim finishing in textile industry.
Silicone Softener Emulsion for Terry Towels
Amino-functional silicone microemulsion that imparts peach-skin handle to terry towel fabrics after dyeing. Prevents yellowing during high-temperature curing. 3809.91.00 classification for textile softener preparations.
Reactive Dye Leveling Agent
Low-foaming dispersant that ensures even dye penetration and fixation on cellulose fibers during continuous dyeing ranges. Prevents barré and skewing defects. Essential textile auxiliary under 3809.91.00.
Textile Mordant for Natural Dyes
Aluminum acetate solution used to fix natural dyes like indigo and madder on wool and silk fabrics using traditional mordanting techniques. Revived for artisan textile production. 3809.91.00 as textile mordant preparation.
High-Temperature Dye Carrier for Polyester
Aromatic ester carrier that swells polyester fibers at 130°C dyeing temperatures, enabling disperse dye penetration without pressure equipment. Critical for polyester fabric dyeing. 3809.91.00 textile dye carrier.
Cotton Yarn Sizing Compound
Polyvinyl alcohol and starch blend compounded with lubricants for warp sizing of cotton yarns before weaving. Provides abrasion resistance during high-speed looms. Textile preparation under 3809.91.00.
