Company Profile
Textan sold to tanneries and textile mills, not shoppers, so this page carries no shop box - and because its present-day status could not be fully verified, it carries no official-site button either: trade coverage reports the Chennai business renamed as Tex Biosciences, an enzyme and leather-chemicals maker near Chennai, but the Textan name's own status is unverified. What is solid is the record: the company's complete 2007 product catalogue and its account of the leather and textile businesses are kept in full on this profile's history page.
The range is specific, and it is kept in full on this profile's history page. Texamylase is a readily soluble, non-pathogenic bacterial amylase, obtained by submerged fermentation and formulated for desizing - the removal of starch size from textile materials. Texzyme AC is an acid cellulase of fungal origin, developed for enzyme-based stone washing on denim with no back staining. Around them sit the dye-fix agents Texdyefix-L and its non-formaldehyde variant, the softener Texsofty, the printing binder Tex Binder M, the sizing agent Texsize, the Tex Thickener for reactive and pigment printing, and the wetting agent Luwet Conc.
