Description
Texosize is a modified slurry-based corn starch for sizing of textile warp yarn, designed to meet requirements of high-speed sophisticated weaving. This product offers uniform viscosity, high adhesiveness and adequate penetration to fiber. Texosize provides excellent film formation and enhance weaving efficiency. This product prevents the warp yarn breakage due to abrasion of the neighboring yarns. Texosize is an ideal slurry based modified starch for sizing application of cotton, cotton blended fiber polyester fiber and denim application. This product is suitable for both coarser and finer count. Texosize can be used with Binder 3-6 % and softener 2-4 % depending on end use.
