HKPC Develops Plasma Treatment Technology to Equip Textiles for Rainy or Sunny Days
The Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) has developed an innovative treatment method to equip textiles with long-lasting additional functions such as resistance to crease, stain, water, UV and bacteria to meet the demands of today's sophisticated consumers.
According to Mr Raymond Chan, Senior Consultant (Materials Technology) of HKPC, "Traditionally, chemicals or resins with these desired properties are applied to textile surfaces by dispersion or coating methods, which nevertheless forge only weak bonding between the chemicals and the fabrics, resulting in short-lived added functions. Resin coating, in particular, could also undermine certain properties of the cloth concerned, such as its softness, breathability and appearance. In addition, these conventional processes require waste treatment systems for compliance with environmental regulations."
He said, "To address these problems, HKPC has developed a new treatment method based on the use of plasma, an electrically neutral, highly ionized gas composed of ions, electrons, and neutral particles. With short duration and high efficiency, the process does not affect the desirable properties of the textiles."
"Environmentally friendly and affordable to local manufacturers, this new technology will add value to local clothing products and enhance the competitiveness of Hong Kong's textile and apparel industry," he said.
