Monforts and Archroma increase offering for mills' trials

It has been integrated into one of the two Montex stenter lines and is now available for full customer trials; a partnership with Archroma will make its latest chemicals available.
BW Converting’s TexCoat G4 enables softeners, antimicrobials, durable water repellents, flame retardants and other water-based chemicals to be applied to textile surfaces and, in combination with Montex stenters, can reduce water, chemistry and energy consumption by up to 50% compared with traditional pad application processes, said the partners.
Monforts’ head of sales for South-East Asia, Hans Wroblowski, said: “Our ATC houses two full Montex stenter finishing lines engineered to accommodate an extremely diverse range of processes, in addition to a Thermex range for the continuous dyeing of denim and other woven fabrics, a full colour kitchen and a number of lab-scale systems for smaller batch trials. It enables our customers to test their own textiles and technical fabrics under fully confidential, real production conditions and using the results from these trials we are also able to make recommendations for improving many fabric finishes.”
Michael Schuhmann, manager of technical textiles at Archroma Textile Effects, said: “With the extension of our long-standing partnership with Baldwin – now including the processing expertise and knowhow of Monforts – the development of new concepts for chemical functionalisation and colouration will be taken a step further. Additionally, we can now demonstrate potential savings and performance levels under actual industrial conditions, providing mill partners with clear proof of efficiency without disrupting their production.”
