Plasma Processes For Textile

Plasmapps Ltd has developed hydrophobic and stain-resistant coating (hydro/oleophobic) to protect natural and synthetic fabrics, leather and upholstery with the maximum degree of stain resistance provided by the Dupont test (6,6), resistant to industrial washing and ironing. 










Plasmapps Ltd has developed many plasma processes for protecting fabrics, natural and synthetic fibers:

• Hydrophobic and stain resistance fabrics;

• Anti-felting and anti-pilling;

• Antibacterial / anti-odor fabrics;

• Photocatalytic fabrics;

• Flame retardant effect.

Plasmapps provides its clients with customized plasma solutions (processes, reactors, service) for synthesizing surfaces with hydrophilic properties. Textiles, natural and synthetic fibers can be functionalized for fashion manufacturing together with filters and membranes for life science and biomedical field. By means of plasma processes it is possible to treat hydrophobic fabrics like PET by making them more hydrophilic, transpiring and comfortable. Plasmapps has also developed a process to reduce the colour excess on printed fabrics. A specific application is denim bleaching for jeans manufacturing. This plasma process offers a valid, safely and eco-friendly alternative respect to currently used methods (bleaching with sodium hypochlorite, sandblasting and stone-wash). Plasmapps has also developed plasma processes to tune (increase or decrease) the kinetic of liquids adsorption for membranes and filters for food, life science and biomedical field.

A NUMBER OF ATTRACTIVE PROPERTIES CAN BE ENHANCED ON NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC TEXTILES:

• Increase/Decrease of colour/inks adhesion 

• Reduction of de-sizing 

• Denim bleach processes 

• Hydrophilic Textiles 

• Comfort and breathability 

• Reduction of colour excess on printed fabrics 

• Kinetic tuning of liquids adsorption for filters and membranes.
