BIOPURE HS5: Exceptional Soft Touch For Wool
At AGS, we continue to challenge expectations of what a plant-based textile softener can achieve. BIOPURE HS5 has proven to be an exceptional solution not only for cotton and synthetics, but also for wool and wool-rich textiles. Providing durable softness, silky smoothness, and moisture management are often unachievable because of the wool fiber’s natural properties.
Wool, known for its unique thermal regulation and resilience, is also naturally prone to coarseness and felting. BIOPURE HS5 addresses these challenges by delivering a silky-smooth hand feel, while maintaining the inherent structure and performance of wool. Its slight cationic charge ensures excellent affinity to wool fibers without over-coating them, preserving both drape and breathability.
Unlike traditional silicone softeners, BIOPURE HS5 is derived from coconut oil and offers a plant-based solution that rivals, and in many cases surpasses, the performance of conventional chemistries. On wool and wool blends, the technology provides uniform deposition across complex fiber structures, leading to improved next-to-skin comfort and enhanced wearer experience.
The global markets are shifting towards sustainable and circular materials and our technologies, like BIOPURE HS5, play a vital role in aligning performance with environmental responsibility. Our technologies compatibility with wool makes it an ideal choice for mills, brands, and retailers seeking to reduce their chemical footprint without compromising textile performance. Wool deserves a softener that supports its legacy of performance and BIOPURE HS5 delivers exactly that.
Our innovative plant-based chemistry supports brands and manufacturers in building durable, high-performance garments—contact us to learn more about how we can help.
