Modified starches for textile sizing and printing — designed for process reliability

Sustainable fabrics aren't a trend anymore — they're the baseline. Brand owners expect verified low-impact chemistry, traceable supply chains and finishes that deliver tactile quality without compromising recyclability. Mills, meanwhile, push for faster, more energy-efficient processes, predictable dye-and-print performance and compliance with standards such as OEKO-TEX®. The shift is clear: cosmetic finishes alone no longer cut it. What counts now are functional systems that balance hand, durability and circularity.

Starches for Textiles — from sizing to print thickeners

Looking for modified starches that perform across sizing, finishing and printing? AGRANA's textiles portfolio brings together cold- and hot-soluble grades and print thickeners built for consistent sizing, dependable adhesion and clean wash-out. Compatible with the auxiliaries, resins and agents mills already use, they sharpen print contours, boost color brilliance and streamline digital and analog workflows.

Textiles expertise — from process chemistry to application testing

AGRANA's textiles team combines hands-on process know-how with application testing to translate performance goals into reliable recipes. We run trials, manage scale-up and handle regulatory checks alongside mills – balancing feel, fixation and sustainability targets.
