Large-width treatment with penetration – GlowPlasma - pretreatment for textiles and nonwovens before dyeing
When
textiles are treated with atmospheric plasma, it is
especially important that knitted fabrics are activated uniformly,
across their entire surface and in their entire structure.
Instead
of jet technology that covers only one side, Plasmatreat has
developed GlowPlasma, a process that combines plasma energy with the
unique electrical design of a linear discharge station. GlowPlasma
was designed for large width treatments, it penetrates deep into the
pores of the textile to be treated, and initiates micro-discharges at
that level. This unique plasma treatment hydrophilizes the textile
and facilitates wettability with water-based processing materials in
subsequent steps, such as dyeing, printing, or textile finishing.
The
Plasmatreat pilot workshop
includes a conveyor system with integrated GlowPlasma for treating
widths up to 300 mm and processing speeds of up to 400 m/minute.
