Market Overview

Water-based polymer binders have largely replaced solvent-based systems in technical textile and nonwoven manufacturing, driven by environmental regulations (REACH, OEKO-TEX) and customer demand for cleaner supply chains. The key technical challenge is achieving durability through multiple wash cycles while maintaining fabric softness and dimensional stability.

JCT Chemical supplies binders to manufacturers of woven and knitted fabric backcoatings, spunbond and airlaid nonwovens, carpet systems, and technical filtration media. Our soft acrylic and PUD grades are formulated to give the right balance of strength and hand-feel required by each application.
