Besides faster drying times, the benefits of Foam Eco Care finishing are clear - in particular in the field of Non-Iron finishing. It produces excellent durable press ratings and it is less complicated than traditional moist crosslinking and the simplified system generates excellent performance which is very close to the results known with moist crosslinking.

Crucially in today's environmentally conscious climate, where issues of sustainability are of increasing importance, it uses less energy as a result of its low temperature curing resin chemistry. Less water is required and because of faster drying speeds there are commensurate advantages in terms of overall productivity. With low formaldehyde (substantially less than the 75ppm permitted limit) it means that no afterwash is needed, another saving when compared with moist crosslinking.
