The Right Choice

Approximately 70 percent of home laundering in Europe occurs at temperatures of 50 degrees centigrade or less. The most commonly used bleach activator for such low temperature washing is tetra-acetylethylene diamine (TAED), which reacts with generated hydrogen peroxide to form peracetic acid. Bleach activators, however, often result in ox..

Factors Affecting the Deterioration of the Cellulosic Fibres in Black-Dyed New Zealand Flax (Phormium tenax)

A traditional black by dye consisting of an iron and plant polyphenol complex destabilizes New Zealand flax fibers due to its low pH and high iron content. As degradation proceeds, the hue changes and the extent of degradation increases. A high proportion of noncellulosic xylan polysaccharide accelerates the degradation. Increasing the re..

Enzymatic Treatment as an Alternative to Carbonization of Disperse/Reactive Dyed Polyester-Cotton Blends

An experiment investigation enzymatic treatment as an alternative to carbonization dyed polyester/cotton fabrics having different blend proportions with disperse, reactive and disperse/reactive combination dyes, then treated the dyed fabrics with a cellulose enzyme to remove the reactive dyed cotton portion of the blends. The enzymatic ac..

Denim Finished on Monforts

Monforts' denim finishing and shrinking machines include the conventional denim processing system, which uses a padding machine and cylinder dryer, and the VACU-FOAM denim processing system, which uses a foam application unit, stretching unit, rubber belt shrinking unit, and felt calender. Operating speeds range from 25-80 meters per minu..

Horizon 2000

Monforts manufactures such finishing machinery as tentering, dyeing, heat treating, padding, and shrinking machines. The Montex 5000 TwinAir Plus tentering machine uses a chain track to increase the maximum stretching forces up to 700 newtons per minute. Integrated waste air ducts eliminate the need for secondary installation of waste air..

Biological Renovation and Reuse of Spent Reactive Dyeabaths.

A low cost anaerobic/anoxic fixed film bioreactor system removes color from spent reactive dyebaths while conserving water and salt and reducing wastewater wolume and treatment costs. The resultant biologically renovated high salt containing dyebath can be reused in the dyeing process. Researchers used methanogenic cultures without salt, ..

The Application of Feedforward Profiles in the Control of Dyeing Machinery.

Researchers developed an algorithm based on dyebath conditions to predict dyeing results as a function of the dye exhaustion rate. Laboratory test conditions included up to 700 parts per million Procion Red HE-3B, dosing time of 80 minutes, pH 7, and a 50 liter per minute flow rate. Experiments used conventional time and temperature profi..
