ProGARM® TECHNICAL INFORMATION VXS+ Guidelines for washinG VXs+ Garments INHERENT recommendatIons Laundries have different machines and different methods to wash clothes so that we recommend all Laundries services may perform tests and trials in order to find an appropriate formula and to determine the shrinkage of the garment. Also development with the detergency laundry supplier are recommended (Ecolab, Henkel, HTS, Kreussler, BDM, Clariant, Hoestch and so on) for this purpose of formula. Do not wash light and dark colour clothes together. It is possible to wash multi-coloured (colour combined) garments using the maintenance recommendations. Garments with grease stains should be pre-treated before washing. Dry cleaning (before or after wet washing) can be more effective with these types of stains. Wash extremely soiled garments separately. Do not use bleach. Bleach will not affect the fire protection properties, but will reduce garment quality and appearance. The shrinkage of the garment may be a maximum of 3% whenever the correct instructions of usage and washing are followed. For garments and protective clothing with ‘FC’ finish (liquid chemicals protection) we recommend the use of the industrial laundry services, where they can reactivate the ‘FC’ finish of the garment/protective clothing on every wash cycle (after the 5 initial cycles washes). domestIc washer procedure (en 6330): • Use a cold or warm water cycle at maximum 60ºC. Using neutral detergent (do not use soap) • Drying: - Dry outdoors or • Dryer, 70ºC - 500rpm Permanent press cycle is recommended for an ideal appearance. j H L S E www.progarm.eu +44 (0)1482 679600 V1 © Copyright ProGARM® ProGARM® TECHNICAL INFORMATION VXS+ Guidelines for washing VXS+ garments INHERENT Industrial washing procedure (EN ISO 15797): Washing Load ratio Bath ratio Temperature Detergent without optical or peroxides Time Cooling (until 50ºC) 1:20 1:5 Max. 60 ºC Standard (approx 5 g/L) 15-20 min 3 ºC/min Rinsing (x3) Bath ratio Time Low speed centrifuging between rinses 1:5 3 min Approx. 1 min Spin Drying / Neutralizing High speed Remaining moisture Approx. 5 min 40-45 % *In case of FC Re-activating Time Temperature Approx. 10 min 30-40ºC Drying (tumbler) Load ratio 1:35 Exit Temperature Cooling max 90 ºC Approx. 5 min Temperature Time (In case of FC Re-activating) 155 ºC 5-10 min + 5min over dry V1 © Copyright ProGARM® www.progarm.eu +44 (0)1482 679600 ProGARM® TECHNICAL INFORMATION Guidelines for washing VXS+ garments VXS+ INHERENT IMPORTANT TIPS • Washing water: Use water with less than 100 mg/l calcium carbonate, neutral Ph and Fe less than 1 mg/l. • Wash bath Ph values should not exceed neutral Ph. • Colour loss, excessive shrinkage and reduced garment life may result from repeated exposure to excessive temperature and excessive Ph during washes. • In case of extremely soiled garments, use high surfactants or additives which reinforce the detergent’s effect • High surfactant, low alkalinity detergent formulations are recommended for best cleaning and colour retention. Garments and protective clothing will have best appearance and long service life. • Mechanical action (rpm of the washing machine, tumbler dryer): Normal agitation during heating, washing and rinsing. • Wash VSX+ garments separately from other clothes because fibres from other fabrics can affect VSX+. • Wash VSX+ garments separately from other clothes. The fibres coming off from these clothes can affect VSX+ garments. • Avoid overdrying that could cause highest shrinkage, VSX+ has quick drying properties. • Smoother garments and longer wear life may result from tunnel drying. • Garment could be pressed process, if desired. Remark: determine best conditions before adopting a procedure. • Garments and protective clothing (with FC finish reactivation) must be ironed / or steam pressed, for a better powerful re-activating of the FC finish properties. • Use the appropriate load (60%-75% capacity) to minimize the superimposing/overlapping of fabric on the stains. • There are three different types of water hardness : Soft, moderate, hard and very hard. Hard water affects laundering in several ways. Incomplete soil removal is common in hard water. As unremoved soil deposits accumulate, fabrics feel harsh and stiff. There are three ways to help control water hardness when doing the laundry: - Use adequate amounts of an appropriate detergent. - Use water as hot as recommended for the fabric. - Install a water-softening unit in your home ProGARM® assumes no obligation with regard to certainty and to complete this information and recommends users to conduct their own test with the guidelines written above.
