In this way it is possible to make hydrophilic fabrics resistant to different kind of stains. Plasmapps has developed a stain-resistant (hydro/oleo-phobic) plasma coating for protecting natural and synthetic fabrics, by reaching the maximum level of Stain resistance of Dupont Test: 6,6. Therefore the coating holds over many industrial washing cycles and ironing.
A number of attractive properties can be enhanced on natural and synthetic textiles:
- Resistance to shrinking, pilling;
- Antibacterial textiles
- Reduction of de-sizing;
- Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic Textiles
- Metallization
- Flame Retardant Effect
- Increase/Decrease of colour/inks adhesion
- Debaca Effect (silky effect)
- Comfort and breathability
- Discoloration/Reduction of colour excess on printed fabrics
Personalized plasma reactors (batch, reel to reel, roll to roll, stirring, with moveable plasma source, etc.) can be developed at Plasmapps, equipped with the process and geometry you need, with the throughput you like, on your selected substrate.
