SIZING
Achitex Minerva Group entered the Sizing products market by building on the experience and know-how derived from the acquisition of the EMEA market textiles division of Lamberti S.p.A.
The laboratories have developed a full range of products for sizing and processing any type of fibre, yarn or floc.
The range has been developed with the aim of not modifying textiles’ quality, in accordance with the most stringent international standards relating to both production and use, guaranteeing protection for health, safety and the environment.
A unique technology has also been developed allowing yarns to be dyed during the sizing process itself, using pigment dispersions. This technology, called Achisize Pigment Technology, allows yarns to be sized and dyed in a single phase instead of in two, guaranteeing a uniform, reproducible shade.
Complete range of products for textile sizing, which improves the resistance of the warp threads during the weaving process.
