From Foam Technology to Formaldehyde Reduction: Pursuits Toward Safer and Better Textile Chemistry

As a young college graduate, I had no idea that I would spend much of my career moving toward making textiles more “sustainable.” Like many others who were starting their first job after college, I went to work and did what they told me to do. Little did I know that a path was being paved before me that would lead to making textile chemistry and processes better and safer. Call it serendipity, Lady Luck, or whatever...as I stumbled along this path, it always came back to the same things: developing low wet pick-up technologies (especially foam!) for reducing water and energy consumption, and reducing and eliminating hazardous chemicals, especially formaldehyde. At first, I felt like life was dragging me along while I was being forced to do these things. And then the light bulb in my head came on: I was getting pretty good at them and was really enjoying myself!
