Method for finishing denim

Abstract

A method for denim finishing, with desizing, bleaching, and/or dyeing of the goods is described. In order to move the desizing and/or bleaching into a treatment line through which the web of fabric passes continuously, ahead of the production of the clothing, the goods are treated in the moist, hot ambient air of a hot flue.

1 . Method for denim finishing, proceeding from goods to which a treatment agent, such as a desizing agent, a bleach, or a dye, is applied, whereby the treatment agent is activated on the goods in a hot flue, by means of drying with moist, heated circulating hot flue air, characterized by integration into the continuous course of the web of fabric, which begins after weaving (with the unfinished woven fabric) and ends, without interruption, only before production of the clothing, with the finished web of fabric.
