Low-Foam Exhaust Scouring Range

Designed for high-shear jet dyeing systems.

EUROSCOUR HPJS

Low-foaming wetting and scouring for exhaust applications and jet dyeing machines. Stable in peroxide bleaching systems.

Exhaust processingJet dyeingCotton bleaching

EUROSCOUR HPJS Premium Best in class

Advanced version with stronger detergency and superior rewetting. High efficiency at lower dosage (0.3–0.5%). One of Britacel’s strongest exhaust wetting technologies.

Low Caustic Pretreatment Range

Higher efficiency with significantly reduced alkali load.

EUROSCOUR LCWA

Reduces caustic requirement by up to 40%. Lower TDS on ETP, better fabric strength retention, reduced weight loss in knits.
