Opinions remain split on new PFAS proposals

A sheet of ultra-low friction PTFE, incorporated into a single jet dyeing machine, can reduce the liquor ratio (of water to fabric) from around 7:1 to 5:1 by stopping damp fabric from getting stuck to the internal steel walls.

For a typical 500 kg dyeing machine, this can save around 90,000,000 litres of water and around 4000 tonnes of CO2 emissions over a typical 15-year lifetime, compared to a conventional machine.
