Description
Water repellent/DWR/water resistant/stain resistant/soil release/soil repellenttreatment in wet bath. The process represents treatment of the textile in a wet bath for application of finishes. It is assumed that multiple processes/finishes are applied in a single wet bath treatment. Includes an estimation of chemical auxiliaries as well as the energy and water required for the wet bath. Water losses are assumed to be 15% of total water use. The remaining water is assumed to be treated and returned to the system.
