Application of plasma treatment machine in fabric printing and dyeing industry

The surface treatment process of plasma cleaning machine is widely used in the automotive, semiconductor, aerospace, biomedical and other industries, and is also often used in electrical products, textile printing and dyeing and other industries. Today, I will briefly explain the application of low-temperature plasma technology of plasma surface treatment equipment in the pre-treatment process of textile products.

1. Traditional production process of textile products and low-temperature plasma treatment technology

In the textile industry, the pre-treatment process of textile products includes but is not limited to the desizing of various types of textiles, the degumming of silk fabrics and hemp raw fabrics, and the removal of other impurities. Taking the past textile desizing process as an example, a variety of production processes are often used, such as desizing, boiling, bleaching, etc. The entire processing process is time-consuming, inefficient, easy to produce waste and pollutants, and high product costs. With the application of low-temperature plasma technology of plasma cleaning machines in recent years, the production cycle of textile products has been effectively shortened, the production process has been simplified, and the product cost of enterprises has been reduced. So how exactly does the plasma surface treatment process work?

2. The treatment effect of plasma treatment equipment on textiles

The plasma generated by the plasma cleaning equipment will cause corrosion, exchange, grafting and copolymerization with the surface of plant fibers. In addition, during the operation of textile products, the molecules, atoms and ions in the plasma penetrate into the surface of the textile material, which can break the macromolecular chains on the surface of the plant fiber, causing physical and chemical reactions, thereby achieving surface etching and coarsening, thereby improving the water absorption capacity, softness, adhesion and friction between plant fibers of the textile. Plasma treatment technology can achieve multiple effects on the modification of plant fibers and textile products, such as: 1. Improve the dyeing and coloring properties of textiles, and improve the visual beauty of textiles; 2. Improve the friction properties of plant fibers and improve spinnability; 3. Anti-shrinkage treatment can improve the touch feel of textiles; 4. Provide textiles with wearing comfort, waterproof and anti-fouling properties through hydrophilic or hydrophobic treatment. In general, the plasma treatment process of plasma cleaning machines is used in sizing, desizing, degumming of hemp and silk, and dewaxing of cotton.
