Eco-Applicator for knitted fabrics

The energy saving, Eco-Applicator soft coating process from Monforts for the application of liquors and functional chemicals is now available for knitted fabric applications. Guidance for the knitted fabric has been specifically adapted to the needs of delicate knit treatment to eliminate ‘curling’ of the fabric edges, the company reports.

The Eco-Applicator is said to offer significant energy savings with reduced liquor application. The multi-functional and multi-purpose process is designed to ensure the lowest energy input for consecutive drying to its minimal liquor application.

It has been developed to apply a liquor to one side of the fabric; to both sides of the fabric; a different liquor to either side of the fabric; or to apply two different liquors consecutively to a single side of the fabric. According to the manufacturer, Eco-Applicator is suitable for a wide range of fabric applications and effect finishing – particularly for denim.
