The Netherlands-based Tanatex Chemicals has developed Tanassist® Proset, an auxiliary chemical for whiteness retention on nylon and nylon/elastane blend fabrics. According to the company, Tanassist Proset is durable, low foaming, exhibits good stability in foulard applications, and shows excellent phenolic yellowing inhibiting properties with anti-yellowing effects caused by vanillin and butylated hydroxytoluene.
It can be used with anionic and nonionic softeners in finishing, and also may be applied using exhaust processes.
