Textiles
Elkay is pioneer in providing various Amino Silicone products & Silicone Softeners which find applications in Textile Finishing. Elkay has a strong presence in textiles in the Domestic as well as in the Export market.
We offer a wide range of products including hydrophilic and standard amino fluids, self dispersible amino fluids and amino fluid emulsions. We also offer non-amino fluids like carboxyl and epoxy functional fluids to give unique feels. Our products can be used on any fabrics including cotton, polyester, blends, knits, terry towels, nylons, etc.
