CHT Group to showcase SMART textile care concepts at EXPOdetergo Milan

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

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

Companies	CHT Group, EXPOdetergo International
Chemicals	hydrogen peroxide
Location	Milan, Italy (EXPOdetergo venue); Hall 3, Stand B19
Timing	20.10.2026, 23.10.2026 – 26.10.2026
End uses	professional textile care, commercial laundries (Wäschereien)

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.

CHT Group adds BEZAKTIV Salt Advisor to its textile dyes app

admin — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

CHT Group has added the BEZAKTIV Salt Advisor to its CHT Textile Dyes App, a calculation tool for cotton dyeing with BEZAKTIV reactive dyes. The model evaluates salt concentration changes of up to ±20 g/l against the standard recipe and shows the effect on total recipe cost. The tool is available free of charge to all users of the CHT Textile Dyes App and recalculates dye recipes when the salt level changes.

Why it matters

Textile finishers can cut salt and dye usage per recipe without lab trial series, which may reduce demand volumes for salt and reactive dyes in cotton dyeing.

Key facts

Companies	CHT Group
Chemicals	BEZAKTIV reactive dyes
Timing	13.10.2026
End uses	Textile finishing, Cotton dyeing

Market context

Reactive dyes are the main class used to color cotton and other cellulosic fibers, forming covalent bonds with the fiber for good wash fastness. In cotton dyeing, dyebaths typically contain large amounts of salt, such as sodium chloride or sodium sulfate, which drive dye exhaustion onto the fiber. Demand for these dyes and salts therefore follows cotton apparel and home textile production, with major volumes concentrated in Asia, Turkey and other textile finishing hubs. Recipe optimization tools matter because salt and dye are two of the largest variable costs in a dyeing batch, and their use is sensitive to environmental discharge limits for effluent salinity. When finishers can reduce salt and dye per recipe with software rather than repeated lab trials, purchased volumes per kilogram of fabric can fall, putting pressure on dye suppliers to compete on performance, service and total process cost rather than on product volume alone.
