Continuous textile finishing process consists of applying microwave radiation to material inside chamber with treatment agents and heated contact surface

摘要

The procedure consists of placing the textile material to be finished inside a chamber with treatment agents, applying microwave radiation at atmospheric pressure, putting the material inside the chamber in contact with a surface that can be heated, and extracting water vapour from the chamber during the whole treatment process. The procedure consists of placing the textile material to be finished inside a chamber with treatment agents, applying microwave radiation at atmospheric pressure, putting the material inside the chamber in contact with a surface that can be heated, and extracting water vapour from the chamber during the whole treatment process. The treatment agents are applied by impregnating the textile material in a bath of necessary reagents and then wringing it out to leave a content of 40-200%. The microwave radiation is applied at a power of 0.8-3 kWh per kg of material, which spends 60-240 seconds inside the chamber, while the contact surface is heated to 40-210 [deg]C. An independent claim is also included for a treatment apparatus.
