• BEST CLEANING RESULTS ON THE WIDEST RANGE OF SOILS
While perchloroethylene, hydrocarbon, and water are each effective at removing a narrow range of contaminants, the unique nature of the Solvair cleaning process provides better overall removal of a much broader range of contaminants.
• NO PRE-SPOTTING REQUIRED
The Solvair cleaning process removes the majority of stains automatically in the cleaning machine. As a result, pre-spotting is eliminated and post-spotting is greatly reduced.
• FABRICS LAST LONGER AND HOLD THEIR LOOK BETTER
With the Solvair process, only a short cleaning cycle is required to thoroughly remove contaminants. The load is rinsed dry over a short time, without exposure to heat or extended mechanical action. Tumbling occurs only in a combination of liquid CO2 and dense CO2 vapor, rather than air, so the load is cushioned from excessive impact in the wheel. Consequently, the Solvair process subjects the load to much less mechanical action over less time than conventional cleaning, reducing damage to fibers, buttons, and fragile trims while preserving garment shape and extending garment life.
• REDUCES THE RISK OF SET STAINS
Since the Solvair cleaning system does not use heat in drying, the process virtually eliminates the risk of setting stains. Any stains not removed in processing can be safely post-treated or re-cleaned
• REDUCES THE RISK OF SHRINKAGE
The Solvair cleaning process is very effective at controlling moisture in the system, which significantly reduces the risk of fabric shrinkage
• NO RESIDUAL SOLVENT ODORS IN FABRICS
The Solvair drying process is so effective, that even heavyweight fabric and difficult to dry areas, like shoulder pads, will not have residual solvent odor.
• PREPROGRAMMED FOR THE BEST CLEANING
Solvair cleaning systems are pre-programmed to ensure ideal conditions for consistent cleaning. This includes: processing time, operating temperatures, additive concentration, filtration design and capacity, distillation design and throughput, cleaning fluid changes and flow rate.
