PROCESSING
Inbuilt catalyst &
softener.
Microencapsulated
fragrance finishes.
Laser-based
processing.
Use anti microbial
finishes.
Water & oil repellent
finishes.
Flame-retardant
finishes.
Antiozonate finishes.
UV absorber finishes.
Coating individually.

26. SUPERIORITY & DISFAVOR
Superiority
Handling of smaller lots economically.
Enables various special effects to be achieved.
Distressed look can be effectively imparted.
Unsold light shade can be converted into
medium and deep shades.
Lowest energy consumed.
Latest fashion trends can be effectively
incorporated by immediate feedback from the
customer.
Disfavor
High cost of processing.
A little complicated dyeing.
Garment accessories like zips ,
buttons etc impose restrictions.

29. CAUSE & EFFECTS
Change in PH
during
cationization.
•High rate of rinse in
temperature during
cationization.
•Direct contact of
steam with garment
•Too low MLR hence
uneven build- up of
cationizer.
Dyeing may
cause corrosion
to metalic parts
like buttons,
zippers etc.
•Chlorine
retention
•High dosage of
cationic
softener
•Ozone fading.
