Dow Corning Corporation, a leading supplier of innovative
silicone solutions for the textiles industry, will exhibit and present at FESPA Fabric 2010 in
Germany this June. In Hall A2, Booth 110, Dow Corning will feature its Dow
Corning® brand Silicone Textile Printing Inks, which are durable, and
suitable even for tough-to-print, high-performance sports apparel.
Visitors to Booth 110 will learn how Dow Corning's silicone screen
printing solutions provide competitive advantages. Silicone textile
printing inks are fast-curing and easily pigmented. They offer high elongation
and a soft, non-tacky handle.
With heightened consumer concern regarding environmental impact, Dow
Corning Silicone Textile Printing Inks are an ideal solution because they
contain no organotin, phthalate, formaldehyde, PVC or solvents.
Complementing the information available at Booth 110, Dow Corning Textile
Industry Application Engineer Bertrand Lenoble will present "Creating
Amazing Effects with Silicone Inks for Textile Printing" from 3 to 4 p.m.
on Tuesday, June 22, at the Screen and Fabric Innovation Theatre.
The presentation will focus on the Silicone Textile Printing Inks developed
by Dow Corning to fill the existing performance gap of traditional inks. The
inks deliver performance aligned with environmental standards and meet various
special design needs for customers who wish to differentiate their products
from competition.
Dow Corning Silicone Textile Printing Inks are suitable for screen
printing processes on most natural and synthetic fabrics, including elastic
fabrics. Potential applications include swimsuits, gloves, hats, jackets,
jerseys, pants, shirts, sleepwear, socks, undergarments and uniforms.
In addition to traditional screen printing, innovative Dow Corning
Silicone Textile Printing Inks allow for a variety of unique special
effects.
FESPA hosts the
exhibition, featuring leading brands, innovators and solutions providers in the
garment decoration industry. In 2009, approximately 40,000 people from more
than 130 countries attended the exhibition, which showcased 800 exhibitors.
Dow Corning offers a comprehensive selection of proven silicone-based
performance enhancers and process aids for textiles and is breaking new ground
in the realm of eco-innovation. In addition to materials, the company provides
