EASY-CARE IS tRUMPStoday, as well as fashion, practical aspects have a decisive effect on buying patterns. Demands focus on functional qualities such as elasticity and comfort, combined with the wish for textiles to be easy to care for.

Cotton still plays a vital role as a fibre in textile industry; like all cellulose fibres, it stands out for its excellent physiological wearing qualities. However, its positive qualities come up against two large disadvantages. on one hand, there is its tendency to crease, which can be more or less pronounced depending on the type of fibre and the construction of the textile, and, on the other hand, the fact that garments lose their shape after being washed.

Who wants to voluntarily spend their precious free time standing at the ironing board? Who isnt annoyed if a fabric bought at high cost already shrinks after the first wash and loses its shape?

CHt-easy-care finishes support the consumers wish for easy-care, easy-iron textiles which retain their shape.

In this brochure, we present the CHt-easy-care finish programme. As well as modern cross-linking agents and catalysts, our portfolio comprises special softeners and handle modifiers, providing functional support for ideal treatment effects.

the CHt-Comfort-Finish, in particular, keeps fabrics in shape, pro-vides excellent crease recovery and long-lasting softness, creating high-quality textiles which are extremely comfortable to wear. our brochure on easy-care finishes not only presents our high-per-formance product range; with its supplementary guidelines on pro-duct application it also serves as a well-substantiated compendium.

today, above all else, fashion must be uncomplicated and easy to care for. As well as giving them the latest look; consumers also expect fabrics to make their life easier. Nobody enjoys ironing any more: the motto is wash and wear. Your favourite blouse or best shirt goes in the washing machine to be worn again the next day. this leaves plenty of time for the important things in life thanks to CHts easy-care finishes.

CELLULOSE IN TOP FORM WORLD-WIDE

Cotton and viscose are popular with consumers worldwide. these fibres and their blends are extremely comfortable to wear, even if they do not naturally retain their shape well. the various treatments are what make the soft, silky fibres easy to care for, helping them retain their shape the way modern textiles do.

TAILOR-MADE RECIPES

With a wide range of treatment agents and processes, the CHt-group provides ideal easy-care comfort for cellulose fibres and their blends. our perfectly harmonised cross-linking agents and catalysts efficiently produce easy-iron textiles which retain their shape. Com-bined with specially selected softeners and handle modifiers, this creates highly efficient finishing effects. the recipes can be adapted to your particular needs to produce tailor-made textile finishes!

Highly comfortable to wear, especially easy to care for and with a fashionable look with their versatile advantages, easy-care textiles outrival untreated ones.

oNLY tHE BESt PRoPERtIES FoR YoUR tEXtILES

IMPROvED SHAPE AND DIMENSION STABILITY

Consumers place great value on textiles which retain their shape; after all, who wants a garment which shrinks after only a few washes, or stretches and loses its shape? Moreover, very good shrink-resistance is required for goods to appear smooth at the seams or in places where they are glued to linings.

LOWER TENDENCY TO CREASE

Cellulose fibres swell during the washing process, change their position in relation to one another and do not return to their original position after drying this is how creases occur. thanks to easy-care finishes, on one hand the fibres capacity for swelling is reduced, and on the other, the cross-linking gives it greater resiliency, so the textile smoothes itself out after every wash.

LESS COLOUR CHANGE ESPECIALLY AFTER WASHING

When washing with cleaning agents containing optical brighteners, colour changes are less noticeable, as the brighteners have considerably less exhaust on fibres with an easy-care finish. thanks to the lower capacity to swell, the dyes are not washed out (wash greying) as quickly.

EASIER TO IRON

After washing, whether air-dried or tumble-dried, easy-care textiles are less creased, and can be ironed far more easily for this reason alone. Furthermore, carefully selected additives make the iron glide across the textiles with little effort.

SOFTER AND SMOOTHER

the reduced swelling capacity of easy-care textiles means that when the washing is spin-dried, more water is spun out than compared with untreated goods. the fabric dries faster and feels softer and smoother.

7 CHt | BEzEMA

BETTER WET FASTNESS FOR DYES AND PRINTS

thanks to the lower swelling capacity, dyes and prints generally have better wet fastness.

LOWER TENDENCY TO PILL, ESPECIALLY WITH Cv AND CO / PES FIBRE BLENDS

After only a few washes, you can already see the difference: easy-care textiles show fewer signs of use and look new for longer. Amongst other things, this is due to the lower tendency to pill, especially for blends with synthetic fibres.

MORE WASH-RESISTANT GLOSS AND EMBOSSING EFFECTS

Gloss and embossing effects are also retained, even after frequent washing, as the fibres capacity to absorb water, and thus their potential to swell, is considerably reduced.

IMPROvED PERMANENCE OF SOFTENERS, STIFFENING AGENTS, WATER- AND OIL-REPELLENT AGENTS

Easy-care resins have a cross-linking effect on polymer dispersions or softening agents. More cross-linking generally means that their effect is retained in the textile even after frequent washing.

DRY CURING PROCESS

With dry curing process, the cross-linking reaction takes place with the woven or knitted fabric in a dry condition. this means the textiles are impregnated on the padder, then dried and fixed. In the case of conventional dry curing process the fabrics are first dried on the stenter frame. the fixing step is carried out separately on what is known as a curing machine (e.g. a hot flue). In the flash curing process, drying and fixing take place in one step on the stenter frame.

the final sanforization makes the goods softer and smoother.

Expert knowledge of the recipe and process engineering are the key to success, whether in the field of standard dry curing process or the innovative CHt-Comfort-Finish process.

CHT-COMFORT-FINISH

this innovative process can create textiles requiring almost no ironing. the crease-resistant effects can be produced in steps which are comparatively easy to control and almost attain the effectiveness of moisture curing process.

the success of the process also depends on the quality of the texile and its original strength. If the fabric is pre-treated with liquid ammonia, this has a positive effect on the crease and abrasion resistance of the CHt-Comfort-Finish.

CROSS-LINkING AGENTS

Cross-linkers are substances which create fixed bonds between the cellulose fibres thanks to chemical reactions. the result is that the cotton or viscose does not swell up as much in water and retains its shape better. Most cross-linking agents are derived from DMDHEU*.

CATALYSTS

Catalysts accelerate reactions. In the specific case of easy-care finishes, catalysts ensure that the cross-linking reactions take place in the usual temperature ranges for textile finishing (130 180 C). Magnesium chloride is used mostly.

ADDITIvES

Additives complement the effect of the cross-linker with different characteristics. Softeners and smoothening agents not only improve the handle of the fabric, but also compensates for lost resistance to tearing and abrasion as much as possible. other additives serve to modulate a certain characteristic of the goods, e.g. stiffeners, filling agents, oil-repelling agents etc.

For easy-care treatments, cross-linkable silicones are of special importance more than anything else, as they can considerably boost the anti-crease effects.

SURFACTANTS

there should be emulsifiers, surface-active agents or stabilisers in every easy-care finish recipe, as only they can allow the woven or knitted fabric to be wetted quickly during impregnation, enabling the liquor to be evenly distributed. this is especially true of pigment printed textiles. As well as their wetting qualities, the non-ionic surfactants also have emulsifying characteristics. A low foaming is a sign of quality.

CHt-CatalYst BFM (o liq)

Synergetic formulation of organic acids and metal salts

Special catalyst for the 2-step CHt-Comfort- Finish process. Due to the strongly acid reaction the product has to be rinsed out of the fabric after curing.

CHt-CatalYst Fs (o liq)

Metal salt with organic additives

the product is a special catalyst for the easy-care finishing with a low content of formaldehyde which considerably reduces the content of free formaldehyde on textile according to Japanese Law 112 in com-parison to the conventional cryst. magnesi-um chloride.

CHt-CatalYst odl (o liq)

Aqueous solution of inorganic compounds

CHt-CAtALYSt oDL is a special catalyst for the formaldehyde-free easy-care finish-ing and it is recommended exclusively for REAKNItt zF. the garlic odour occasionally arising with cryst. magnesium chloride is not to be expected with application of CHt-CAtALYSt oDL according to our experience.

Kollasol Cdo (n liq)

Hydrophilic silicone surface-active substances mixed with higher alcohols

Deaerator and penetration accelerator with excellent foam inhibiting properties and a high electrolyte stability. the product doesnt affect water- and oil repellency and thus it is perfectly suited for fluorocarbon containing finishing recipes.

Kollasol HV (n liq)

Combination of fatty alcohols, fatty alcohol ethoxylates and fatty alcohol alkoxylates

Penetration accelerator and wetting agent with excellent low foaming properties for finishing and easy-care finish. KoLLASoL HV causes an immediate penetration of the material and makes the finishing chemicals get evenly absorbed. KoLLASoL HV has a very good emulsifying capacity and acts as solubiliser for finishing components.

PolYaVin Pen (n liq)

Special polyethylene emulsion

Sewing additive for all kinds of fibres. Even on very fine knits the number of mesh breakages is considerably reduced or com-pletely prevented. the handle of the goods is pleasantly soft. PoLYAVIN PEN is excel-lently suitable for easy-care finishing and to improve the abrasion and tear strength.

Cross-linking agent for the easy-care finishes of fabrics made of cellulose fibres and their blends with synthetics. If used properly, very low formaldehyde contents will result on the fabric, so that ko-tex Standard 100 will be achieved (according to Japanese Law 112: HCHo < 75 ppm).

ReaKnitt tio (o liq)

Reactant resin with integrated catalyst system for a low formaldehyde easy-care finish on cellulose fibres and their blends with synthetics

Due to the one-component system no catalyst needs to be added. therefore the handling is clearly simplified and possible error sources are minimised. Effects achieved with REAKNItt tIo have a very good wash durability because of the hydro lysis stability. Moreover, the finishes produce a neutral handle without stiffening. the product has a long time shelf life (at least for six months) and low emissions.

aRRistan 66 (n/c liq)

Macro emulsion of an amino functional polysiloxane

Silicone elastomer for improving the handle of CEL, Wo and synthetic fibres as well as their blends. Soft handle and stability to washing and dry cleaning as well as out-standing resiliency and highest sewability improvements stand out for fabrics finished with ARRIStAN 66. It is highly suitable for easy-care finishes. ARRIStAN 66 is sensi-tive to alkali so that the pH values of the liquors have to be adjusted to pH 5 6. ARRIStAN 66 is preferably used in padding processes.

aRRistan aC (a liq)

Self-cross-linking acrylate dispersion

ARRIStAN AC is a finishing agent for all types of fibres. It forms soft to medium hard films after thermal treatment. these films are not soluble in organic solvents and are very resistant to washing at the boil. ARRIStAN AC is highly suitable as auxiliary to prevent curling up on cut parts and also helps to reduce the tendency of pilling.

aRRistan aCs (a liq)

Self-cross-linking acrylate dispersion

Same properties as ARRIStAN AC, the films after thermal treatment are however medium to hard.

aRRistan HM (n liq)

Vinylacetate copolymer in aqueous dispersion

ARRIStAN HM is a finishing agent for filling finishes with good washing stabilities. Higher application amounts do not have a stiffening effect on the product, its full handle and elasticity remains. ARRIStAN HM does not cause post-yellowing on full white fabrics.

aRRistan PMd (d liq)

Micro dispersion of a modified polyurethane

Polymer finishing agent for padding proces-ses. the product is self-cross-linking due to its chemical constitution and forms very soft, resilient films without the addition of special catalysts. ARRIStAN PMD is an additive with multiple application for textiles in finishing. It is applied as additive in easy-care finishing to improve the crease resist-ance, as modifier to achieve interesting handle effects and as additive to improve technological properties (e.g. rubbing fastness, pilling etc.)
