Production Pain Points
For heavyweight denim above 14 oz, during low liquor-ratio, high-load, large-batch production, washing easily produces stubborn water marks and hard creases:
- Mottled fabric surface, unable to meet high-end order requirements
- Fabric downgraded to reject, damaging brand reputation
- Rework consumes labor and materials, eroding company profits
Anti-wrinkle Softener HonesoftⓇ DX-1037 conc. resolves crease defects in situ during the bath, eliminating the need for finishing-stage remediation.
Core Product Advantages
During the wet-processing stage it acts directly on the fibers, preventing permanent dead creases and water marks after drying right at the source; it does not damage yarn strength, does not affect enzyme, overdyeing, or other washing processes, and preserves the original denim character.
- Prevents creasing and suppresses water marks; smooth, even fabric surface.
- Enhances whiskers, monkey wash, and snowflake patterns with sharp, three-.dimensional texture.
- Combs out lint, eliminates the hazy fabric surface, and enhances a premium luster.
- Soft, smooth handfeel; reduces downstream softener dosage and saves auxiliary cost.
Plant-Scale Side-by-Side Trial
Test substrate: same-batch 360 g/m² heavyweight denim, 66 kg, liquor ratio 1:9, water volume 600 L
• Blank control group: conventional washing process without anti-wrinkle agent
• Test group: conventional process with Anti-wrinkle Softener HonesoftⓇ DX-1037 conc. added
