The event

What is InnoQualTex SourceXhibition 2026?

InnoQualTex SourceXhibition is a textile sourcing and innovation platform, and the 2026 edition brings its Delhi chapter to Yashobhoomi, one of the country’s largest exhibition venues. The organisers describe it as a place to connect with industry leaders, explore responsible sourcing and move the textile value chain in a more sustainable direction. You can read their own programme on the official event website.

For a chemical supplier, a sourcing show is a useful kind of room. Mills, processors, garment makers and brand teams are all walking the same aisles, and the questions are practical ones. Will this pass our buyer’s chemical audit? Can it run on the machines we already have? What does it do to the effluent? Those are the questions we built Quest around, so we would rather answer them face to face than in a brochure.

Our reason

Why does a sustainability-first chemical company exhibit at a sourcing show?

Because the choices that decide how clean a garment is made are mostly taken at the sourcing table, long before the fabric reaches a dye house. A buyer who asks for ZDHC-aligned chemistry changes what a mill orders. A mill that asks for lower-effluent auxiliaries changes what we formulate. The conversation has to happen in both directions.

The textile industry carries a heavy water burden. A United Nations University policy brief cites the European Parliament in putting the sector at nearly 20% of global water pollution. We wrote about one example of that, potassium permanganate in denim, in our first Quest Insights article. This stall is where we show what the alternatives look like in a bottle.

Our offering

Innovative textile solutions across the whole processing chain

Innovative Textile Solutions.
Superior Performance.
Limitless Possibilities!

Quest Performance Additives is a partner in next-generation textile chemical solutions, and our work is meant to bring innovation, performance and value to every stage of textile processing. At Stall E5 & E6 we are happy to walk through any of it, from a first pretreatment bath to a speciality finish on the final fabric. Our full portfolio is listed on the products page.

Our advanced solutions cover four stages:

01Pretreatment

Enhanced preparation of the fabric for consistent processing and superior results downstream. See our cotton and polyester preparation chemistry.

02Coloration

Innovative solutions for vibrant shades, improved dyeing performance and better process efficiency, including our Q-ACTIVE reactive dyestuffs and IMPERO pigment dispersions.

03Finishing

Value-added finishes that improve fabric aesthetics, handle and performance, such as the Questfin FRAG fragrance series.

04Speciality & functional finishes

Advanced functionality for evolving textile and end-user requirements: water repellents, flame retardants and antimicrobial finishes.

Processing applications

Behind the range, our approach is simple. We combine technical expertise with innovative chemistry to help textile manufacturers reach better processing efficiency, stronger product performance and greater value addition. If your line runs exhaust, continuous or semi-continuous, on cellulosics, polyester, nylon or wool, we can talk about what fits. You can request a meeting or technical data before you visit.

On display

What are we showing at Stall E5 & E6?

Six ranges are on display, each one built around a problem a processing unit actually faces. Browse the complete portfolio on our products page and the concepts page.

01IMPERO Pigment Dispersions

An eco-friendly pigment dispersion range for textile printing, made for brilliant shades, consistent colour and reliable results across a wide variety of fabrics. See our printing and processing range.

02Questfin FRAG Series

Specialty micro-encapsulated fragrance finishing agents that give fabric a lasting freshness and a better sensory feel. A good fit for garments and home textiles.

03Questrepel Water Repellent Series

Functional finishes that keep water off fabric while the textile stays comfortable to wear. Details on our water repellents page.

04Quest Noflame Flame Retardant Series

Protection for textiles where fire safety matters, developed with the same chemical-safety thinking as the rest of the range. Read more on flame retardants.

05Quest Saniguard AM Antimicrobial Series

Hygiene finishes for fabrics that need lasting freshness and protection. Find out more about our antimicrobial finishes.

06Q-ACTIVE Reactive Dyestuffs

A reactive dye range for brilliant colour, good wash fastness and consistent dyeing. Ideal for cotton and cellulosic dyeing.

Look closely at the shelves and you will see the rest of the story: sample bottles lined up in rows, cones of dyed yarn, denim, knits, towels and garments. We brought actual fabric on purpose. A formulation looks the same in every datasheet, but a customer can feel what it does to a towel or a pair of jeans in about five seconds.

Behind that display is the broader Quest product range for cotton and polyester processing, which runs from desizing and scouring to dye auxiliaries and finishing. Much of it is more than a single page can list, so if you are looking for something specific, ask us at the stall or send us a note.

Our principles

What does sustainable manufacturing mean at Quest?

It is easy to put the word “sustainable” on a brochure. We try to be specific about what sits behind it, and you can check the detail on our sustainability page. Our principles are these:

1

Zero discharge manufacturingOur plant runs as a zero discharge facility with a dedicated effluent treatment unit, so what we make does not become someone else’s river problem.
2

Bio-based and enzymatic firstWherever a natural route works, we start there. See our bio-based chemistry and enzymatic innovation work, and QuestCare Q9, our clay-based answer to potassium permanganate.
3

Verified, not just claimedOur chemistry is aligned with ZDHC, and we hold OEKO-TEX® Eco Passport, GOTS, ISO 9001 and ToX FMD screening.
4

Low-toxicity, biodegradable where possibleWe choose ingredients with the operator on the wash floor and the treatment plant downstream in mind.
5

Less water and energyOur process choices are meant to cut consumption at our plant and, through efficient products, at our customers’ units.
6

Performance without compromiseA greener product only counts if it runs on the mill’s line. We build our chemistry for better processing efficiency and consistent results, so sustainability never costs a customer performance.

“

We started Quest because we believed textile chemistry should earn its place twice: once on the factory floor, and again in the water that leaves it. An exhibition like this lets us sit across the table from mills and brands and show them that performance and responsibility can live in the same drum.

Come say hello

Who should come and talk to us?

If you run a cotton or polyester processing unit, a denim or garment wash house, a printing unit, or a sourcing desk that is trying to meet a buyer’s chemical management requirements, the stall is worth ten minutes of your visit. Bring a process sheet or a fabric swatch if you can. Our technical team would rather work on your real problem than recite a catalogue.

Cannot make it to Delhi? Our team in Mumbai will happily pick up the conversation after the show. The contact page has our numbers and addresses, and you can follow our updates on the Quest Insights blog and LinkedIn.
