ADDIGUARD TREATMENT
ADDIGUARD is a brand of high performance chemical treatments for textile fibers, developed to protect textile fibres. It creates an “invisible shield”, which prevents stains caused by water and greasy substances, as well as everyday dirt. It also makes the easy removal of stains possible.
ADDIGUARD BENEFITS
Repellency to watery and greasy substances, ensuring easy cleaning;
Less adherence to greasy and viscous substances placed mechanically on the fabric, helping their removal
Dynamic repellency to water under pressure (such as, for instance, rain);
Resistance to dust;
Preserves and maintains aspect of new for a longer time.

TEST METHODS

OIL REPELLENCY (TEST BASED ON THE AATCC 118-2002 METHOD TEST)


Grades A or B: Test liquid used complies with the norm (APPROVED).

Grades C or D: Test liquid used does not comply with the norm (NOT APPROVED)

REPELLENCY TO WATER (REPELLENCY TEST – WATER/LCOHOL)


Grades A or B: Test liquid used complies with the norm (APPROVED).

Grades C or D: Test liquid used does not comply with the norm (NOT APPROVED)

REPELLENCY TO WATER (SPRAY TEST – AATCC TEST METHOD 22)

WATER COLUMN (HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE)

Measures the “impermeability” of the material in millimeters (mm). It is the theoretical height of water that could be on top of the material before it goes through it. The value of a 1,000 mm water column is similar to a pressure of 1 bar.

BUNDESMANN – EN 29865



-  Rain on samples through 300 nozzles
-  Time: 10 minutes
-  Visual assessment: values from 1 – 5
- Weighting the samples after removing them  from test  
-  Determination of the flux through the samples

ABRASION

Determination of resistance to abrasion and use.Crockmeter with water sandpaper nr. 600 – Performs 5 cycles

DRY SOIL TEST

Measures the tendency of the substract to resist to dust during use. The fabric is dirtied with standardized dry soil, after which is leaned with compressed air.
SOIL RELEASE TEST METHOD
DURABILITY

a) Home washing (AATCC # 135)
b) Dry Cleaning (normally with com percloroethylene)
Note:
After washing the product must be ironed so that the product performs again 100% of its functions.
