Application advantages
Economy: Simple application reduces costs
Quality and performance: No additional, quality-diminishing binder system necessary
The use of a binder/adhesive system for heat-setting SILVERPLUS® in a resistance to washing and dry cleaning manner is not necessary. Binder/adhesive systems, as offered for other silver-based product systems, have the following disadvantages:
- Most binder systems can only be applied by padding. The silver finish remains inapplicable to textiles that can only be finished by the exhaust method.
- Binder systems have to be additionally cured at higher temperatures. A change of the white shade or colour has to be taken into account.
- Binder systems require a separate run under curing conditions, which increases the production costs.
For obtaining fresh effects ordinary drying is sufficient to embed SILVERPLUS® in the fibre interstices. Depending on the combination with other finishing variants or process steps in dyeing or finishing, curing/setting temperatures can be used without effect losses.
