Function
Pretreatment and dyeing can leave lighter fabric feeling thin or limp. This product deposits a film within the fabric structure to add weight and fullness, restoring the body and drape the fabric had before wet processing. It is used in finishing, where a fuller hand is needed to meet a buyer's standard.
Typical applications and what it solves
- Fabric feeling thin, limp or 'washed out' in hand after wet processing
- Restoring body and drape to lightweight fabric ahead of finishing
- Building fabric weight to meet a buyer's handle standard
