U P C O M I N G S H O W S and E V E N T S TECHTEXTIL NORTH AMERICA APRIL 1-3 2008 ATLANTA, COBB GALLERIA CENTRE Zimmer Machinery Booth # One area of emerging technology that many companies are increasingly becoming interested in is plasma treatment. Italy-based Arioli S.p.A. displays its new plasma equipment, considered still to be in the developmental/experimental stages. However, the technology seems to be very promising as a potential new step in preparation treatment of many fabrics. Arioli’s current marketing focus for the equipment is in pre-dye treatment for preparing anything from man-made- to natural-fiber fabrics in formats from nonwovens to knits. The dielectric barrier discharge is produced using an applied electrical current. It operates at atmospheric pressure, and runs on air,or other inert gases or gas mixes. The added benefit to the fabric, depend on the fiber type. The benefits are the increased dye uptake and wettability and ability to obtain a hydrophobic or oleophobic surface, and increased adhesion with certain finishing compounds.
