Transforming Textile Performance and Comfort
Jon Cojin
When we first began developing BIOPURE MM1, we did not plan to create a portfolio of plant-based technologies. We did not expect to provide solutions that would be immediately competing so closely with synthetic chemicals in performance, durability, ease-of-use, and price. We listened to various brands and manufacturers as they would outline their areas of struggle for innovative materials and chemicals. This eventually led to creating our BIOPURE brand and a solution that features BIOPURE HS5 and BIOPURE MM1. This innovative package elevates textile performance while aligning with growing demand for regenerative, renewable, and traceable solutions.
BIOPURE HS5, our coconut oil-based hydrophilic softener, offers exceptional penetrating softness, optimal surface smoothness, and superior moisture-wicking capabilities. Complementing this is BIOPURE MM1, an advanced wicking, cooling, and drying finish derived from castor seed oil. Both technologies boast 30-wash durability, ensuring long-lasting effectiveness and sustainability.
The flash-wicking performance of this package is unparalleled, providing rapid moisture management that keeps textiles feeling dry and comfortable even in the most demanding conditions. The combination of these two technologies offers a synergistic effect that not only enhances the tactile properties of the fabric but also significantly improves its functional attributes.
One of the most compelling aspects of the BIOPURE package is its sustainability. In fact, BIOPURE MM1 is carbon negative. Both HS5 and MM1 are crafted from renewable resources—coconut oil and castor seed oil—highlighting our dedication to reducing the environmental footprint of textile production. These technologies are not just green in their composition but are also backed by rigorous transparency along with sustainability certifications. BIOPURE HS5 and MM1 are GOTS V7.0, ZDHC Level 3, and OEKO-TEX® EcoPassport certified. Additionally, they received the SEAL Sustainable Innovation Award. At AGS, we provide our customers with the assurance of responsible manufacturing processes and raw material sourcing.
Ease of application is another standout feature of the BIOPURE HS5 + MM1 package. These solutions go hand-in-hand and are designed for seamless integration into traditional textile processes such as padding and exhaust, ensuring that manufacturers can adopt them without the need for modifications to their existing setups. We understand that this ease of use is critical and enables textile manufacturers to quickly and easily transition to our plant-based options without incurring additional costs, operational disruptions, or pricing conflicts.
Cost-effective innovation is at the core of our development strategy at AGS. We understand that for sustainable technologies to gain widespread acceptance, they must be competitively priced. All of our solutions at AGS are designed with this as one of the core principles. The BIOPURE HS5 + MM1 package not only meets but often surpasses the performance of synthetic counterparts, all while being available at a cost-efficient and comparative price point. This makes it an attractive option for brands looking to enhance their sustainability credentials without compromising on performance or profitability.
The BIOPURE plant-based package represents the future of textile finishing. By combining exceptional performance with unparalleled sustainability, we continue to push boundaries in developing innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of consumers and the textile industry. As more brands and manufacturers adopt plant-based technologies, we move closer to a more sustainable and responsible future.
