Enhanced productivity and cost savings with Ciba PREMAX
Swiss chemical company Ciba Specialty Chemicals introduces new continuous pretreatment system at ITMA ASIA. Ciba's stand is No. 6E-32 in Hall 6, at ITMA ASIA, Singapore.
- Ciba PREMAX combines high quality, efficiency and cost savings
- Unique synergistic effects in one step – re-wetting, emulsifying, low foaming, maximum whiteness, advanced fiber protection
- Enhanced productivity, dependability and reproducibility in subsequent dyeing, printing and full-white processes
Ciba PREMAX is a highly efficient new system designed for continuous and semi-continuous pretreatment of cotton, other cellulosic fibers and their blends with synthetics – including elastane – on state-of-the-art machinery. Thanks to the synergistic effects of Ciba ULTRAVON PRE low-foaming rewetting and emulsifying agent and Ciba TINOCLARITE MAX bleach processor, PREMAX enhances quality and at the same time allows substantial cost savings.
Peter Otto, Global Head of Marketing in Ciba Specialty Chemicals' Textile Effects Segment stated that their customers can relax with PREMAX: it ensures consistently high quality and also allows substantial overall reduction of processing costs, thanks to smooth, uninterrupted running of machinery, improved reproducibility on both colored and white goods, and combined process steps.
ULTRAVON PRE is distinguished by outstanding re-wetting properties, which ensure high, uniform hydrophilicity, facilitating subsequent dyeing, printing and full-white processes. It is low foaming and highly stable throughout processing. With its emulsifying and degreasing properties, ULTRAVON PRE removes all kinds of impurities, promoting level, color-consistent dyeings and ensuring right-first-time results.
