Stiffener

Stiffener

In the textile industry, stiffening agents are used to improve the feel and texture of fabrics, making them smoother, thicker, and more resistant to friction. They can also improve the fabric's elasticity and tear strength. Stiffening agents are often used to finish inter-lining fabrics. Fabric treated with stiffeners remains stiff even after long storage periods and in high humidity.

In the textile industry, stiffeners are used to improve the feel of fabrics, such as cotton and linen.

The textile stiffener is applied as a finishing agent to give the fabric required stiffness. Fabric finished with Stiffners remains stiff even under long storage period and does not loose stiffness even if relative humidity is high. They are mostly used for finishing inter-lining fabrics.
