Ciba Specialty Chemicals, together with A Monforts Textilmaschinen GmbH, have developed a new process that allows non-iron and laundry-fresh properties to be achieved on cotton materials within the shortest treatment times.

This new process, developed on the Monforts MXL® range, allows processing time to be reduced from more than 20 hours to less than 3 minutes. The process also ensures greater flexibility and higher process safety than conventional systems.


Continuous process

  • No time-consuming dwell process required
  • Lower space requirement
  • Reliable and simple process control
  • Lower risk of over-drying thanks to controlled steam/air mixtures
  • Unique non-iron and laundry-fresh properties can be achieved
  1. This new process allows highest easy-care performance together with optimum retention of the strength properties.
  2. With the MXL® process the desired residual moisture content can be easily achieved, thus minimising the risk of over-drying
  3. At a drying temperature of 100°C and 30% v/v steam in the circulating air as drying medium, the material to be finished is optimally treated within just three minutes.
