Fashion has been a driving force for introduction of innovative finishes on various types of garments. One such finish has been the "Acid / Frost Wash". There have been a number of theories concerning the development of the basic techniques for this kind of look. The traditional route involved the use of pumice stones soaked in NaOCl or bleach solution tumbling with jeans similar to stonewashing without water. Although this process achieved results however, these were highly inconsistent in nature and the process also led to higher tensile loss. Now, with the advanced Ocean Magic™ Technology from Sybron Chemicals Inc., it is significantly more convenient and simple to achieve the magical finish. The Ocean Magic™ powder is a patented product used for obtaining finishes such as ‘French Frost’, ‘Icewash’, ‘Whitewash’, ‘Snowwash’ or ‘Acidwash’ on denim garments. It can also be used on lightweight garments like fleece and T-shirts to achieve that "well-worn" appearance. The process to achieve such fashion-forward finishes using the Ocean Magic™Technology is simple - a mere 2-step process, viz. running the garments with Ocean Magic™ powder followed by neutralization. The Ocean Magic™ Technology is much more operator-friendly vis-à-vis the traditional technique. The salient advantages are:
While denim apparels have had such finishes
for some time, with Ocean Magic™ Technology, the process (albeit with certain process
modifications) can be very well applied on knits. The key to obtain
aesthetic effects on knit garments is the dye choice - different
dyes will react differently resulting in a variety of "magical" finishes. |
