Dollfus & Muller exhibits endless belts & felts at ITMA

 

Transfer printing felts:

The Dollfus & Muller Nomex felt is used on a heat transfer printing calender. Synthetic fabrics are usually printed on this calender using high temperatures (up to 230°C / 450°F). The pre-printed paper carries the dyestuffs, which are then sublimated on the fabric using high temperature. The purpose of the sublimation felt is to press the fabric against the printed paper, both against the heated drum. The contact between the fabric and the printed paper needs to be long enough, to ensure the transfer of the dyestuffs to the fabric. Heat transfer printing is an economical way to print synthetic fabrics.

 

Sanfor Felts:

The Dollfus & Muller sanforizing felts are used on the Palmer unit of the compressive shrinking range or sanforizing machine. Dollfus & Muller felts offer the best drying, an excellent shrinkage control and a very good hand to the fabric. Dollfus & Muller has developed special reinforced Denim Sanfor felts in order to resist longer to the chemicals used in denim processing.
