Techniques for Jeans with Individual, Robust Look and Strong Contrasts
In addition to their individual look and the strong color contrast these cool jeans have a unique soft and greasy handle. Furthermore, thanks to the elaborate recipes and finishing techniques, they are very robust and resistant to environmental influences such as yellowing caused by ozone (O3) or nitrogen oxide (NOx) as well as fading of the indigo dyestuff.
Our Process Recommendation for Garment Finishing
The particular effects on these jeans in a bold, rough Wild West Look can be created by means of the following enzymatic and textile-chemical process steps and garment finishing processes:
- Enzymatic desizing
- Super stone wash with cellulases
- Permanganate-free, ecological bleaching
- Greasy luster effect by spray coating
- Softening finishing to avoid ozone fading and yellowing
Pretreatment of the Jeans Garments and Super Stone Wash
After a pretreatment of the indigo warp-dyed goods – usually a desizing process with amylases – an enzymatic super stone wash with special cellulase enzymes is carried out. Therefore, we suggest the use of the two following textile auxiliaries:
PERIZYM SC 500
PERIZYM SC 500 is a cellulase enzyme preparation for the stone wash of denim articles at low temperatures.
PERLAVIN JAB NEW
PERLAVIN JAB NEW is a special product with anti-backstaining properties for garment washing.
Indigo Bleaching without Potassium Permanganate
After stone washing the garments are bleached with a special potassium permanganate-free indigo bleaching process. We have developed this environmentally friendly PERISTAL BLI ECO method, which is carried out with the following two products:
PERISTAL BLI 85 N ECO
PERISTAL BLI 85 N ECO is an ecological oxidizing agent for spray bleaching of indigo-dyed articles.
PERISTAL BLI 15 ECO
PERISTAL BLI 15 ECO is an inorganic compound with bleaching properties for oxidative bleaching.
Spray Coating for Greasy Luster Effect
In order to create this special greasy luster effect on jeans garments the pieces are first treated by spray coating with PERIPRET LUSTER 2 in combination with PERICOLOR P pigments. After drying and curing of the glossy coating the greasy effect is generated on a tumble dryer, where the goods are treated with silicone balls.
PERIPRET LUSTER 2
PERIPRET LUSTER 2 is a special sprayable polymer compound for the production of glossy effects on garments.
Finishing to Avoid Ozone Fading and Yellowing
In the next process step the trousers are finished on a drum washing machine with PERISOFT LOF/R. This is a silicone-free softener for indigo-dyed garments. PERISOFT LOF/R offers a pleasant smooth and very soft handle. Furthermore, the softening minimizes the risk of ozone fading and yellowing. Finished goods are better protected against color changes and environmental influences caused by ozone or nitrogen oxides.
