What Are Textile Auxiliaries?  

Textile auxiliaries are chemical compounds used during textile processing to improve  efficiency, fabric quality, and durability. These include: 

• Pretreatment chemicals (used in 100% of raw fabric processing cycles)  • Dyeing auxiliaries (accounting for 35–40% of total auxiliary consumption)  • Finishing agents (used in 25–30% of production processes)  

On average, producing 1 ton of finished textile requires approximately: • 80–120 kg of textile auxiliaries (2024 estimate) 

• Water consumption of 100–150 liters per kg of fabric 

• Processing time reduction of 18–25% when optimized auxiliaries are used
