At the IMB fair in Cologne in 2003, Permess presented a new and innovative coating concept: Dynamic DotŪ.
What is Dynamic DotŪ ? Dynamic DotŪ is the result of intensive research and a new thermodynamic and environmentally friendly production process. Due to its patented three-dimensional multi-layer coating structure, the Dynamic DotŪ product range offers a number of advantages. It allows the coating to be applied to the material more gradually and more evenly, giving better adhesion and ensuring that the materials are easier to process.
The Dynamic DotŪ interlining is multifunctional. It lends itself to innumerable clothing fabrics, so fewer machine adjustments are needed. Because of the ability to fuse at lower temperatures it reduces the risk of discolouring on the outside of the material.
What are the advantages of Dynamic DotŪ ? Todays fashion industry and its distribution channels are driven by shorter fashion-cycles and a constant demand for further decreasing stock levels and delivery-times. This creates a high demand for flexibility in the production chains. Garment manufacturers have to change from low cost to flexible low cost operations with lead-times less than two weeks. Suppliers have to find creative solutions to follow the flexibility demands. The Dynamic DotŪ allows the users of fusible interlinings to improve quality and convenience. It enables designers, manufacturers and end-users to improve their product quality and create more convenience in the logistic processes. Less visible and tangible benefits include savings on energy and a higher production speed: work can now be carried out at lower temperatures. Moreover, the interlining is multifunctional. It lends itself to innumerable clothing fabrics, so fewer machine adjustments are needed. It also reduces the risk of discolouring on the outside of the material.
Better adhesion The special composition of Dynamic DotŪ coating offers an increased adhesion of 40 to 60% (initial and after multiple washing). Especially on finished fabrics or voluminous fabrics this characteristic gives fantastic results.
Softer handle The renewed coating-distribution of the Dynamic DotŪ on the carrier fabric gives the optimal combination of adhesion and handle. There is no scatter-coating residu on the interlining which makes soft-combinations firmer than required.
Reduced strike back The composition of the Dynamic DotŪ is designed to reduce strike back to the highest possible level. High melting-point polymers form the center of the coating dot, thus preventing the coating to strike back. Independent test results show a considerable reduction up to 70%, subject to the type of fabric and fusing conditions used, versus conventional coatings.
Easy Tack/multifunctional The three-component composition of the Dynamic DotŪ allows the end-user to use a wider range of fusing conditions or to use a wider range of fabrics under the same fusing conditions. The manufacturer has the option to reduce temperature, increase production and to save energy.
Excellent on finished fabrics Fashion and functionality of garments are often supported by the use of special finishing effects. Non-iron fabrics, easy-wear fabrics and other specially treated materials have properties often created by special finishes. These finishes act as a barrier when laminating with fusible interlinings. |
