OBJECTIVE : The aim of this document is to provide the information amongst consumers and governments regarding the PIONEER^TM DRIZZLE JET ECO-FLOW and highlight the advantages over the traditional Chemical Washing Process

BRIEF HISTORY : As the fashion industry developed in the late 80s-90s, the demand for prewashed/ dyed, vintage garments raised at a rapid scale, so it has seen that numerous brands and garments processing units established businesses, but in the initial days, neither the governments/ consumers nor the manufacturers were aware of the harm, they were doing towards the environment and also they were not too much aware about how much they were wasting the water and chemicals during the washing processes and that leading wasting of money.

TRADITIONAL CHEMICAL WASHING PROCESS : The traditional washing process of the garments is as follow: There are many types of washes. The prominently used are Hard Wash, Half Bleach, Full Bleach, Marble Bleach, Acid Wash, Chemical Wash, Ice Wash, Moon Wash, Bright Wash, Gun Wash, Camel Wash, Ink Wash etc.

Different Types of Denim Wash :
After pre-treatment, denim garments may be subjected to different types of wash. Some of commonly used wash types are:

1. Stone Wash
2. Acid Wash
3. Rinse Wash
4. Enzyme Wash
5. Bleach Wash

Stone Wash : This is the most common and basic process for producing a washed-down look on denim garments. Towards the end of the seventies, pumice stones were discovered to accelerate the ageing process of the indigo dyed denim garments.

Acid Wash (Moon Wash) : Acid washing or ice washing is usually done by tumbling the garments with pumice stones presoaked in an acid solution, such that localized bleaching is effected in a non-uniform sharp blue/white contrast in the garment.

Rinse Wash (Mill Wash) : The objective of the rinse washing is to keep the fabric appearance as dark as possible. The denim is desized width-wise in open-width washing machine and the dye is not washed out.

Enzyme Wash : As denim is made of cotton, it too consists of cellulose. Celluloses can be used to give denim a worn look. Enzymes have opened up new possibilities in denim finishing by increasing the variety of finishes available. For example, it is now possible to fade denim to a greater degree without running the risk of damaging the garment. Cellulases are the enzymes commonly used in enzyme wash. As the name suggests, it degrades cellulose.

PIONEER^TM DRIZZLE JET ECO-FLOW Technology uses micronization and nebulization techniquies to eliminate the traditional abrasion processes and delivering better performance chemistry (color, softeners, antimicrobials, etc.) by using nanobubbles of air instead of water. "PIONEER" DRIZZLE JET ECO-FLOW provides great versatility to finishing processes, reducing the cost of application, saving the amount of water used and ensuring that the correct amount of chemicals stays in the garment and not in the water. Basically, the technology and working principle behind the PIONEER^TM DRIZZLE JET ECO-FLOW is the formation of nanobubbles of air enveloped by concentrated mixture of water and chemicals, and that mist form of water and chemicals are to be sprayed on garments for easy absorption, and PIONEER^TM DRIZZLE JET ECO-FLOW sprays the mist in a uniform manner throughout the entire drum.

Micronization: Micronization refers to particle size reduction processes that result in particles size reduction in microns level. So basically, due to this process, PIONEER^TM DRIZZLE JET ECO-FLOW able to create very small diameter bubbles contain chemical without any notable dilution with negligible amount of water as bubble envelops.

Nebulization: Nebulization process can be explain as a process of creating a mist out of liquid (water + chemicals), allowing the garments, a quicker and easier absorption of chemicals in an effective manner.

HOW PIONEER^TM DRIZZLE JET ECO-FLOW SAVES CHEMICALS, WATER AND MONEY :

PIONEER^TM DRIZZLE JET ECO- FLOW saves immense amount of water and chemicals through eliminating the waste of water and chemicals, while the process of washing is to be performed, and provides only necessary amount of chemicals to garments through its state-of-the-art technology.

In a traditional process of enzyme washing, the drum is filled with water, then the chemicals are poured and mixed with water, from this step the waste has been started, firstly the huge amount of water, that will be waste after the washing process and secondly, the chemicals, a large amount of chemical is used in traditional process, is diluted as it mixed with water. Thirdly, the garments are not required that much volume of water and chemical mixture. The garments only absorb a limited amount of mixture ranging from 5 – 15% by volume of mixture. And it varies different type of garments. So basically garments absorb only 5-15% of mixture and remaining amount of mixture of water and chemicals is wasted and drained out, and PIONEER^TM DRIZZLE JET ECO-FLOW FLOW reduce the energy consumption to complete the washing process, hence saving of energy too.

PIONEER^TM DRIZZLE JET ECO-FLOW saves that water and chemical and energy too, which are going to be wasted during the washing process and drained out after the washing process.
