Decatising

Fabric decatising in Pray, in the province of Biella

Gar.Fin.Tex boasts a large and modern factory in the municipality of Pray, in the province of Biella, where there is the best machinery in the sector for the processing of noble fabrics as well as a team of highly qualified craftsmen .

Among the operations that make up its production cycle is decatising, part of the finishing process to remove the lustre from the fabrics and make them unshrinkable and crease-proof. It consists of exposing the fabrics to water vapor under pressure in special autoclaves, which removes the starch from the fabric, making it even more robust, unshrinkable and less prone to wrinkling.

Processing to iron the fabric

The decatising technique is a process of the production cycle on fabrics whose purpose is to iron the fabric. This is wrapped on a decatising cylinder with an under-piece (satin or flannel), while the steam comes out of the cylinder and irons the fabric. In this way it is possible to obtain the required characteristics of hand and appearance of the final product. High quality fabrics are permanently fixed, which then acquire important support characteristics such as softness, crease-resistance and discreet shine. This technique is performed through steaming under pressure. To find out more about it, you are welcome to call us or fill out the form on the contact page.
