Textiles, Leather & Paper

Textile finishers buy bleaching and pretreatment chemicals from SoleChem such as Hydrogen Peroxide, Peracetic Acid (PAA) and Caustic Soda Flakes, sizing agents such as Polyvinyl Alcohol and Corn Starch, Formic Acid and Glyoxal for dyeing and finishing, and N-Methylmorpholine N-oxide for lyocell fiber production. Caprolactam is supplied to nylon fiber producers.

Tanneries source Basic Chromium Sulphate, Chromium Formate and Potassium Alum Salt for tanning, while paper mills buy Poly Aluminum Chloride, PolyDADMAC and Polyethylenimine for retention and sizing, Kaolin as a coating pigment, Chlorine Dioxide for pulp bleaching and Light Soda Ash for process alkalinity. Turkey's textile and leather clusters are served from domestic stock; EU mills ship from Italy and Spain.
