Textiles Softening Bath

Textile softening bath concentration measurement

In fabrics production, textile goes through softening treatment to improve fabric’s aesthetic properties. For this purpose, the fabric is passed via rollers to an immersion bath containing a softener solution. 

The concentration of the bath must be monitored and kept constant as it gets diluted with water that is brought together with fabric from the previous step. 

Vaisala Polaris^TM process refractometer provides continuous measurement of the softener concentration to alert the operators of when the concentration needs to be replenished. The in-line refractometer also indicate when the required concentration has been reached during the addition of the softener.
