processes under real conditions and optimize our
products to suit your requirements.

Products
ADASIL SM
Silicone-based softener for an exceptionally soft,
smooth handle and excellent surface smoothness.
Properties: imparts very soft, smooth handle and optimal sewing properties; resistant to washing and drycleaning; improves anti-creasing properties.

BREVIOL WSM
Wool-protecting agent based on hydrolysed protein.
Even under difficult conditions (pH, high temperature,
during afterchroming, etc.), this product protects wool
and maintains its character (no embrittlement).
BREVIOL WSM is biodegradable.

FORYL MST
Detergent for scouring raw wool.

FORYL OV
BELFASIN GT
A combination of softeners and smoothing agents.
The range of its application extends from top backwashing or dyeing machine to yarn and piece good
finishing. BELFASIN GT imparts a soft handle, and
results in a distinct reduction of fiber-to-fiber and
fiber-to-metal friction. It considerably improves running properties when used as a finish for tops, weaving yarns and embroidery yarns. When used for piece
good finishing, it imparts a good feel and improves
processing properties. It therefore helps to avoid
sewing damage to tailored goods.

Universal scouring agent.

GERBASOL 4133
Milling auxiliary based on anionic surfactants.

HORSIL NV/HV 55, INEX 746

In combination, these products make an ideal sizing
formula. Excellent weaving effects are achieved, and
easy removal is ensured.

KATAX AL/ 570

BELFASIN 44
Gives wool, loose stock, tops, yarn, woven goods,
knitted goods extra softness and volume. In addition
to its excellent softening effect, the product also has
good antistatic properties.

BELFASIN LX
A compound of fatty softening agents and silicone
elastomers. BELFASIN LX imparts an excellent handle.
This characteristic handle, a mixture of bulkiness and
surface smoothness, is especially suitable for woolen
articles.

Highly effective antistatic components for all staple

fiber processing steps.

LAMEPRINT 651
High-viscosity, dispersible, guar-based thickener,
which swells in an acid environment. Used for
melange printing.

LAMEPRINT A-9
Very pure, medium-viscosity thickener based on
modified guar. Used for direct and discharge printing
on medium and heavy wool qualities.

LAMEPRINT A-13

SELBANA 4554 V

Very pure, low-viscosity thickener based on modified

guar. Used for direct and discharge printing on light
and medium wool qualities.

Carding lubricant based on renewable raw materials.

SELBANA 4554 V is an internationally recognized
lubricant for the carding process in wool top making.
SELBANA 4554 V reduces the reduction of hauteur
that occurs during carding. This effect causes a significant and reproducible increase in yield.

LAMEPON A
Protein fatty acid condensate, which is recommended as a milling auxiliary and for wool bleaching.
LAMEPONA has excellent washing and emulsifying
properties. It prevents brittleness and maintains the
typical wool handle. The product imparts volume
during milling, and prevents milling marks.

SELBANA 2001 N/3001/CW

NOPCOSET 33

Rapidly biodegradable worsted yarn lubricants based

on renewable raw materials. Used in the manufacture
of high quality worsted yarns. Due to its high content
of lubricating components, SELBANA CW is recommended for extremely fine 100% pure wool yarns
(e.g., Cool Wool).

Highly effective polymer with an active substance

concentration of 33%. Used for antishrink finishing of
wool tops.

SELBANA UN

OLINOR KW 66/79
Aqueous solution of co-polymers and additives,
which allows the warp threads to run more smoothly
through the guides and reeds. It also facilities shed
formation on the loom.

Water-soluble product based on renewable raw

materials. It improves cohesion and smoothness, and
is used in the manufacture of dry-spun carpet yarns
as well as in worsted for wool/polyester blends. Meets
the FOC, VOC and SMELL requirements of the
German Car Industry.

SILKOL FD/HV 86
REPELLAN KFC
Gives finished articles permanent stain protection.
Can also be used on wool in the exhaust dyeing process. Properties: excellent water and oil repellent.
These effects are largely resistant to washing and drycleaning. Aqueous and oil based soils (e.g., sauces,
coffee, wine, ink) cannot penetrate. Excellent dry soil
repellent.

Environmentally compatible cohesion agents for leveling static fiber-to-fiber adhesion. SILKOL FD behaves
neutrally in the dynamic friction range, and is therefore
used especially in OE and worsted spinning.

SPREITAN 418
Two-for-One twisting and coning oil to achieve low
fiber-metal friction. Readily biodegradable.
Compatible with standard application equipment.

B04761
Environmentally compatible woollen lubricant. Used
especially for fine merino yarns and mixtures with
animal hairs, for spinning top quality garment yarns
with a fine yarn count.

SPREITAN SO
Low emission, readily biodegradable warping oil.
Meets the latest emission requirements under
German law. Imparts excellent weaving properties
due to low fibre-to-metal frictien. Easy to wash out.

in wool

Turning sheepswool into fine textiles

can only be done with the help of
sophisticated technology. Intelligent
Cognis chemistry combined with the
highly specialized know-how of our
Texperts makes all your processes run
super-smoothly.

For weaving, Cognis delivers optimal sizes

and high performance softeners for both
knitting and hosiery processes. They ensure that the goods will always have a
regular appearance, while reducing machine stoppages and improving production
efficiency.

Cognis wool auxiliaries set standards at all

process stages. Our state-of-the-art solutions are pushing back frontiers environmentally too, since all our process chemicals are based on renewable raw materials.

Are you looking for the perfect dyeing

and printing aids? In dyeing, our special
protein products help to maintain the
wool's natural character, its stability and
elasticity, without hindering the action of
any other chemicals. Cognis' guar-based
printing thickeners will assist you in
achieving high-quality printing results
that meet the most exacting demands.

We offer outstandingly gentle special

detergents for raw wool scouring. Spinning
crinkly fibers into perfectly smooth yarns
requires modification, smoothing and
treatment of the wool. Our combing and
carding oils, waxes, lubricants and antistatics ensure the least possible material loss,
high yield and high quality of the end
product.

At the end of the process chain, our finishing products put that final touch to the
finished goods. They make pure wool and
all its mixtures exceptionally wearable and
easy to care for.
