New Yarn Sizing Technology

EMZ Yarn Sizing technology is an answer to most important customers´ demands to have a low solids, easy-to-handle and eficcient sizing technology, that could easily be applied and removed after the weaving process. Using ready made sizing compounds, our customers benefit from our technology of low solids, which means less starch needed for the same sizing effect, resulting in significant economy, considering the overall costs involved in sizing and removal processes.

With its special formulations, EMZ Compounds act as a very efficient lubricant agent, significantly reducing static ellectricity by the reduction of friction between yarn/yarn and yarn/loom. As an adhesive agent, EMZ Compounds act incorporationg loose fibers into yarn, improving encapsulation and uniformity of the yarns, without significant interference in yarn counts, also reducing size add-on. This alltogether improves the weaving process, regardless the room moisture levels, allowing for a greater yardage per beam. It also presents exellent effects in high and low yarn counts, for ring and open-end spun yarns, reducing significantly the volatile fibers formed in weaving process, improving its performance with fewer loom stops for cleaning.

Here follows, in brief, some features of our sizing product line:

EXTRASIZE - Amylaceous blend with softening agents for cotton and blended yarns with synthetic and artificial yarns. Viscosity varies according to yarn counts and washability levels, this product line allows for different de-sizing processes.

MULTISIZE - Compound for cotton yarns and its blends with synthetic and artificial yarns, with different viscosity levels, depending on the yarn counts used. We offer different features in each products, suitable for different washing levels.

TOPSIZE - Powder form synthetic compounds for cotton yarns and its blends with synthetic and artificial yarns. May be used alone or blended with starch, PVOH or softeners. Indicated for thick, medium or thin yarn counts, and for ring and open-end spun yarns. This product line is higly soluble in hot water and detergents.

EMZ SOFT - Softening agents in several forms, can be used as after wax and lubricant agents, with different formulations, used for cotton yarns and its blends with synthetic or artificial fibers. Indicated for any yarn count, this product line allows for a soft touch, with high lubricity and smoothness. Highly soluble in hot water, can be blended with corn and tapioca starches, acrylates or PVOH. Also indicated for after waxing of synthetic yarns, such as polyester and polyamide. Can be used in hot or cold baths, and is highly soluble in hot water.

A part of our history...

EMZ Química Ltda was found back in 1992 by Mr Emanuel Santos, an experienced chemist with more than 30 years´ background in paints, coatings and textiles industry.

At that time, EMZ targeted its business at three main markets: water treatment, paper mills and textiles, the latter being its core business since the begining of our activities.

With the help of international companies, such as Allied Coloids, Stockhausen, Sandoz, SNF/Floerger, Itochu Trading, Argon Kimya, Hongda Group and SAREX Overseas, just to name a few trusted partners, EMZ broadened its product and solutions´ portfolio for local industries, always adapting high technology products to match our customer´s needs, always thinking about the quality of our products, cost effectiveness of our solutions and the speed and precision in our technical support.

Our solutions for textiles range from yarn sizing, pre-treatment, dyeing, printing and finishing processes, covering a great part of the textiles´ production chain.

In the past few years, we have developed new ventures on SAP - Super Absorbent Polymers´ business, having reached around 200 customers in diapers market. We also have developed a comprehensive line of PVA and PVOH based adhesives, that can be used by wood and carpentry industries, paper, schools and homes. Another research resulted in some reliable resins, that suit most important needs of coatings and paint industry, with high eficiency in binding and dispersing of paints.

And this is how EMZ has built its success history in Brazil, always trying to develop or bring the best solutions from international partners to help Brazilian companies to obtain eficiency and better quality to their production processes.
