CHT Group to showcase SMART textile care concepts at EXPOdetergo Milan

CHT Group will present its SMART WASH, SMART UV POWER and SMART PROTECTION concepts for professional textile care at EXPOdetergo International in Milan from 23 to 26 October 2026, at Hall 3, Stand B19. SMART WASH uses a modular system of five coordinated modules for cleaning, performance boosting, fibre protection, stain removal and pH balance. SMART UV POWER combines UV-C with hydrogen peroxide to generate hydroxyl radicals that lower COD and TOC loads in wastewater. SMART PROTECTION is listed under § 18 IfSG for areas A and B.

Key facts

Market context

Professional textile care relies on detergent formulations and process chemistry that clean, protect and finish fabrics in commercial laundries, hospitality, healthcare and industrial textile services. Hydrogen peroxide is a widely used oxidant in laundry and wastewater treatment, valued for bleaching and for breaking down organic load when combined with UV light, which generates hydroxyl radicals capable of oxidising persistent compounds. Demand for such approaches tends to track hygiene standards, water and effluent regulations, and the cost of energy and water in laundry operations. Equipment and chemical suppliers compete on dosing accuracy, process efficiency and compliance support, so modular dosing systems and advanced oxidation options can shape purchasing decisions among laundry operators. Trade fairs like EXPOdetergo are common venues where suppliers present such concepts to professional buyers, though product launches at shows do not by themselves change near-term supply or pricing for the underlying chemicals.
