APEX PRODUCTS

Our textile chemical products range from highly specialized chemicals (biocides, flame retardants, water repellents) to relatively simple commodity chemicals (such as bleaches) or mixtures thereof (such as emulsified oils and greases, starch, sulfonated oils, waxes, and some surfactants). Several thousand textile chemical specialties are sold, many of them quite similar and differing from one supplier to another merely in trade names and prices. Because of the nature of the chemicals involved, assessment of market sizes is very difficult and, at best, gives estimates based on published statistics on fibers and textile production and typical application levels required for specific process steps.
