The development of textile finishing techniques and technologies outside of reports in world-wide publications is also very visible at subsequent fairs. At international fairs, such as ITMA, ATMA and FESPA, machine, equipment and dye manufacturers present new techniques and technologies. The development of chemical fibre processing nowadays goes mainly towards the “ecological optimisation” of technological processes as well as the economics of processes. In this article, the main development directions of the chemical treatment of textiles in the field of the pre-treatment, bleaching, dyeing, printing and finishing of textile products are discussed.
