Textile Manufacturing: Openair® plasma technology for modern, environmentally friendly pretreatment

Environmental friendliness and cost-effectiveness

In the production of modern high-quality textiles having functional properties an extra surface treatment is often required. Factors such as compatibility with the environment and cost-effectiveness are very much in the foreground in the textile industry. Both natural and synthetic fabrics and fibres are treated with Openair® plasma. The use of this plasma technology affords ideal opportunities in the field of dry pretreatment.

Advantages of Openair® plasma pretreatment in textile production
  • Surfaces are rendered hydrophilic and also water-repellent and dirt-repellent
  • Due to the activation of incorporated filaments the structure of fibre composites is substantially strengthened
  • The use of Openair® plasma is an environmentally friendly and dry alternative to chemical coating
