24/7 Agion application with TexCoat
Apparel giant’s vertical mill in the Caribbean offered a prime opportunity to verify the stability of Agion.
17th March 2021
The Agion antimicrobial agent made by Sciessent, of Beverly, Massachusetts, has been applied continuously to tubular knitted Jersey fabrics for the past two years by a top-five global apparel manufacturer.
The manufacturer is using 19 TexCoat non-contact precision spray systems supplied by Baldwin, of St Louis, Missouri, in 24/7 operations.
The joint solution has even powered through the pandemic, while consistently delivering measurable improvements over the mill’s previous finishing process and chemistry.
Non contact
In 2017, the apparel manufacturer began upgrading its double-pad chemical application system to Baldwin’s TexCoat technology, which applies softener and antimicrobial chemicals to fabrics during the finishing process. The TexCoat system uses precision spray technology instead of padding or soaking/bath methods to evenly apply finishing chemicals.
