Elegant crinkle finishing of polyester has been made possible without the use of a crinkling machine, through a joint development with a manufacturing firm. The following are details announced by Maya Trading.
The photo below shows the crinkle finish on polyester.
<Finishing method>
- Polyester cloth is printed with a special paste (printing of the area desired for crinkling). The advantage of this method is that the printed portion crinkles.
- The printed cloth is laminated with a special resin sheet.
- Heating of the cloth in its laminated state produces crinkles.
- The paste printed on the cloth is removed by cold rinsing.
- The cloth is dried and spread on a stenter for finishing.
