Low Temperature Cotton Pretreatment

Fibre-52 Low-Temperature Soap-Scouring Process

Cotton Processing Facility, Bangladesh

The Challenge

Conventional cotton fabric pretreatment and dyeing require high temperatures (up to 98°C) and multiple soaping/scouring baths. This demands heavy steam consumption from natural gas boilers and extracts significant amounts of groundwater, raising both costs and greenhouse gas emissions.

The Solution

The facility implemented Fibre-52 cotton treatment technology, a patented bio-based chemical solution. By optimizing pretreatment and soaping temperatures down to 75°C and reducing the liquor ratio to 1:6, the facility achieved rapid bleaching and dyeing, saving time, heat energy, and water.
