Suau, Fabric softener

Suau

Fabric softener

Highly effective softening agent. Prevents the formation of static electricity and facilitates ironing, leaving a pleasant fragrance in the clothes.

Suau is an industrial textile softener for professional use formulated for the final rinse of the wash cycle in professional laundries. It deposits softening agents onto fibres, reduces friction between fabrics and neutralises electrostatic charge accumulated during spin cycles, improving feel, handling and ironing performance in industrial laundry processes with high volume.

01Neutralises static electricity on synthetic fibres after spin cycles
02Preserves fabric absorbency in repeated intensive wash cycles
03Dosable via automatic injection systems in industrial laundry equipment
04Reduces ironing time and effort by diminishing fibre stiffness
05Suitable for geriatric and healthcare environments where fabric comfort is a functional requirement

Description

Suau is a professional textile softener designed to integrate into the final rinse of the wash cycle in industrial and professional laundries. Its formulation works by depositing softening agents onto the fibre, reducing friction between fabrics, neutralising electrostatic charge and facilitating subsequent ironing. It is suitable for bed linen, towels, uniforms, tablecloths and work garments in high-rotation textile environments.

Suau is a product formulated and manufactured by Detervic / Instaquim, specifically designed for repetitive cycles where domestic-use softeners do not offer the stability or performance required. Its professional formulation makes it compatible with different fibre types and with the automatic dosing systems common in industrial laundry equipment.

Benefits for professional use

  • Electrostatic control — neutralises charge accumulated during spin cycles, facilitating handling of synthetic garments and high-volume textile laundry operations.
  • Preservation of absorbency — the formula leaves no residues that compromise the functionality of towels or technical textiles after repeated washes.
  • Reduced ironing time — lower fibre stiffness after treatment reduces effort and energy required in industrial ironing processes.
  • Long-lasting textile fragrance — fragrance is retained on the fibre after spin cycles, adding perceived value in laundry services for end customers.
  • Extends textile lifespan — protection against wear from friction between garments reduces replacement costs in establishments with high clothing rotation.
  • Suitable for sensitive skin — appropriate in geriatric and healthcare environments where fabric comfort in contact with skin is a functional requirement.
  • Compatible with industrial laundry equipment — dosable via automatic injection systems in the softener compartment or final rinse.

Main Applications

  • Industrial and professional self-service laundries: treatment of large volumes of bed linen, towels, uniforms and work garments. Integrates into automated wash lines via programmed dosing.
  • HoReCa (hotels, restaurants, cafes): improves the feel of bed linen and tablecloths, directly noticeable to guests. Ideal for establishments managing their own laundry or outsourcing the service.
  • Healthcare and geriatric care: fabric softness in contact with sensitive skin is a functional requirement in these environments. Electrostatic control facilitates handling of sheets and garments in internal distribution processes.
  • Dry cleaners and laundry service companies: applicable to sportswear and synthetic fibre garments, especially prone to electrostatic build-up. The fragrance provided by Suau is a service differentiator appreciated by end customers.
  • Service companies and facility management: compatible with different fibre types and wash programmes, simplifies laundry product inventory and integrates into protocols with multiple customers.

Recommended Sectors

  • HoReCa — softening of bed linen, tablecloths and towels with lasting textile fragrance for a quality experience perceived by guests.
  • Healthcare and geriatric care — softener for garments and sheets in direct contact with patients, with electrostatic control in clothing handling.
  • Industrial laundries — integration into automated wash lines with programmed dosing for large textile volumes.
  • Service companies and facility management — simplification of laundry product inventory in high-rotation textile environments with multiple fibre types.

Indicative Instructions for Use

01
Verify that the equipment has a softener compartment or automatic injection system for the final rinse.
02
Dose between 5 and 10 g of Suau per kg of dry laundry, adjusting according to local water hardness and the degree of softness required for the textile type.
03
Apply the product exclusively in the final rinse of the wash cycle, never in the main phase or with the detergent, to maximise retention on the fibre.
04
In automatic dosing systems, programme the injection at the moment of filling the final rinse bath.
05
After the cycle, check the feel and fragrance of a reference garment to adjust dosing if necessary. For synthetic textiles, use the higher dose within the recommended range.

Specific dilutions, contact times and detailed recommendations are available in the product technical datasheet.
