FTTS-FA-007 Wrinkle Free Textiles
Cotton fabrics feature perspiration absorbency, softness and comfortableness. However, 100% cotton woven shirting, skirting and trousering are vulnerable to wrinkle, especially after laundering. Ironing is usually required to smooth away wrinkles and resume a flat, tidy appearance. Now, with the application of “wrinkle-free treatment for pure cotton fabric”, it’s no longer necessary to iron your pure cotton apparel every time after you wear it in order to maintain its smooth, wrinkle-free status – and such a nice status will withstand a whole day’s activities. This Easy Care function has allowed busy working people nowadays to lead an easier, happier life with more confidence. Moreover, the amount of free formaldehyde left in wrinkle free textiles is strictly regulated by legislative standards.
Current technology in Taiwan for Wrinkle Free Textiles sustains a grade of at least 3.5. The test method used is AATCC 143.
This criterion is applicable to the evaluation and testing of the smooth appearance of textile and apparel after repeated home laundering.
