At AGS, we are committed to offering next generation, sustainable solutions that meet the evolving needs of the textile industry. One such solution is our BIOPURE HS5 technology, it is a coconut oil-based hydrophilic softener that is designed to impart exceptional penetrating softness, surface smoothness, and moisture wicking performance to textiles. It is compatible with various fiber-types, including: cotton, hemp, lyocell, polyester, and nylon. This innovative softener enhances the comfort and functionality of textiles while also offering a sustainable and plant-based solution to conventional softener products. It is ideal for a wide range of applications, delivering consistent and reliable performance across various fabric and fiber-types. BIOPURE HS5 is formaldehyde-free, siloxane-free, and provides equivalent softness and superior moisture wicking performance compared to leading silicone softeners, ensuring that textiles achieve the desired feel and functionality while being environmentally responsible and skin safe. BIOPURE HS5 is uniquely capable in surpassing the comfort and performance-driven needs of the modern consumer that demands sustainability.
Key Performance Benefits
BIOPURE HS5 stands out due to its core performance-enhancing properties:
- Penetrating Softness: Deep, long-lasting softness that enhances the overall feel of the fabric without compromising breathability.
- Surface Smoothness: Silky, smooth surface that minimizes surface friction that improves the feel of the fabric.
- Moisture Wicking: Advanced hydrophilic properties ensure rapid moisture management by efficiently pulling moisture away from the skin then spreading it across the textile surface, keeping the wearer feeling dry and comfortable.
Additional Benefits
Beyond its key performance features, BIOPURE HS5 delivers a range of additional benefits that enhance fabric quality:
- Enhanced Volume and Drape: Giving garments a luxurious, attractive appearance and better wearability.
- Superior Elasticity and Wash Fastness: Maintains elasticity and shows improved fastness to washing, ensuring garments retain their original look and feel after multiple wash cycles.
- Reduced Pilling Formation: Minimizes pilling without altering the fabric’s touch, preserving the soft and smooth texture and high-quality appearance.
- Improved Abrasion Resistance: Increases abrasion resistance that results in longer-lasting garments.
- Anti-Static Properties: Provides anti-static benefits, enhancing wearer comfort and reducing static cling.
- Non-Yellowing: BIOPURE HS5 does not yellow from thermal treatment or UV exposure, maintaining color integrity.
How It Works
BIOPURE HS5 penetrates deep within the textile fiber, where it forms durable bonds. Its coconut oil-based fatty acid chains embed themselves within the fiber matrix through cationic bonding, interacting with hydroxyl groups, and covalent bonding that ensures strong fiber integration rather than just a surface coating. This increased affinity provides durable, consumer-demanded performance features that last through 30 washes.
With the continuously growing demand for sustainable textiles, BIOPURE HS5 is the ideal softener solution for brands.
