LAB102 at Kingpins Show 2023: Technology Supporter – most modern machine technologies supported by innovative chemistry

New machine technologies and optimized processes can help to save water and energy and to reduce the use of chemicals. With the Technology Supporter product range, LAB102 offers its global denim customers state-of-the-art, highly efficient yet harmless solutions.

Nebulization technology

From bleaching agents to dyeing auxiliaries: LAB102 products are tailor-made, biodegradable, and free from heavy metals, chlorine and AOX to achieve the most ecological and economic results: The organIQ BLEACH system is a bleaching system for blue and black denim. It works perfectly as a substitute for potassium permanganate and chlorine in modern nebulization systems to obtain authentic used effects. With the organIQ seek system LAB102 offers a purely organic bleaching system for denim, which is a perfect complement to the organIQ BLEACH system. The systems can be used together or alone, always offering an almost unlimited variety of effects. In addition, LAB102 offers the organIQ BIOPOWER. This is a special cellulase mix to obtain a stonewash look, but completely without the use of stones and with a simultaneous reduction of lint formation. This is a sustainable process, especially if the process is continued with one of the two organIQ bleaching systems.

 

Laser technology

For this technology, LAB102 has auxiliaries that create excellent laser results by making the laser pattern clearer, more detailed and avoiding any additional local spray bleach: DENIMCOL ENERGY is a cleaning product to be used after laser application. It removes laser ash and improves the white share of the lasered area. DENIMCOL TEC-LL is applied to the garment before the laser application to improve the laser effect: The contrasts as well as the bright white of the lasering are enhanced, and details of the laser pattern are emphasized.

 

Ozone Technology

With intelligent pretreatment the best outcome of ozone bleaching, even on dry garments, can be achieved. DENIMCOL TEC-CR leads to strong and even bleaching effects with dry ozone treatments.

 

Low liquor technology

With these auxiliaries, LAB102 achieves authentic and uniform effects by using low liquor technologies. Low liquor technology is comparable to conventional processes but uses significantly less water.

 

Foam Technology

Foam technology can help to save water especially for those who don´t have nebulization technique. The foam helps to bring the chemicals and dyestuff to the garments and work only where they are needed.


The LAB102 Innovation Center is always available to assist customers with their technical expertise. Our Technology Supporter product range offers its customers state-of-the-art, highly efficient, and innovative solutions. From April 12 – 13, 2023 the LAB102 team will participate in the Kingpins Show 2023 in Amsterdam, the most important denim show.
