What is “non iron” technology

The technology under consideration is a modern solution in the field of processing cotton fabrics. The combination of special weaving of fibers with subsequent finishing of the fabric with a certain composition makes it possible to achieve the special properties of the material used for sewing shirts. The production of the fabric itself is carried out in accordance with the European standard Oeko-Tex Standard 100. The resulting fabric is treated with special chemicals and resins of plant origin. Some variations of the well-known standard involve the use of synthetics in production.

Strengthening the desired properties of the fabric is also achieved by inserting silicone tape into all seams. The procedure allows the product to straighten itself during drying.In addition, additional heat treatment of the finished product using special equipment makes it possible to easily restore the shape of the product after washing.
