Bordeaux receives seal of ‘Excellency’ for textile

IndPrint

Bordeaux has received a seal of Excellency after attaining GOTS certification for its pre-treatment solution for textile. This treatment uses binder technology to optimise ink performance, ensuring excellent rub resistance, light fastness and bright, vivid colours.

GOTS is recognised as a leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibres and treatments. It defines high level environmental criteria along the entire organic textiles supply chain and requires compliance with social criteria as well.

The certification provides a credible assurance for textile manufacturers that in addition to its pigment ink, the pre-treatment optimiser solution is also an ecological choice, offering one simple process, with one pre-treatment for all fabrics, applied using a standard padder, one printer and one pigment ink for printing on all fibres, for every textile application.

Bordeaux’s single pre-treatment and ink for all types of fabrics means there is no post treatment required; no need to steam or wash the printed fabrics, and it is ready to be cut and sown. As a result there is a tremendous reduction in electricity and water consumption and the entire process is shortened.

Bordeaux Eden PG pigment ink’s rub and wash resistance are high even without any pre-treatment to the fabric. When using the pre-treatment optimiser the test results are among the highest in the market with 5/5 wash and rub resistance and 7/8 colour fastness.
