Textiles and Fibers
Tulco Inc develops surface modified precipitated silica additives for textile and fiber applications where process control, stability, and surface performance are essential. With more than forty years of experience in silica surface modification, Tulco supports textile related formulations that require consistent behavior during processing and reliable performance in finished materials.
​
Tulco treated precipitated silicas are engineered to integrate effectively into a wide range of textile and fiber treatment systems. By modifying silica surface chemistry, Tulco products help control rheology and dispersion in liquid formulations used during coating, finishing, and fiber treatment processes.
This contributes to improved application uniformity, reduced settling, and consistent distribution of functional components across treated surfaces.
Performance Benefits in Adhesive and Sealant Applications
In textile and fiber applications, Tulco applies Application Driven Additive Development and Colloidal Surface Active Agents to support stable suspension of active ingredients and fillers. Improved formulation stability reduces variability during processing and supports repeatable results across production runs, which is critical in large scale textile operations.
​
Tulco treated silicas also contribute to enhanced surface performance in finished textiles and fibers. Improvements in durability, abrasion resistance, and functional consistency support applications where treated fabrics must maintain performance characteristics over time and through repeated use or environmental exposure.
​
Tulco silica solutions are used across a range of textile and fiber applications, including fabric treatments, specialty coatings, and formulation specific processes designed to enhance material performance. Their compatibility with multiple formulation approaches allows for flexible integration into both standard textile treatments and highly application specific designs.
The Tailored Solution
Tulco works closely with customers to support product selection and formulation development for textile and fiber applications. When standard products do not meet performance requirements, Tulco offers custom treated silica development to address specific processing or performance goals.
Tulco also provides manufacturing and packaging support for customers facing internal capacity limitations, offering reliable production and flexible packaging options to maintain consistent supply.
Technical data sheets and safety documentation are available to support product evaluation, regulatory compliance, and production scale up.
Tulco’s technical team provides formulation guidance and application support throughout the development process to help ensure dependable performance in real world textile and fiber applications.
