The Softer Way to Resource Saving<br />
<strong>ECOSOFT</strong><br />
The Softer Way to Resource Saving<br />
Inspired by <strong>the</strong> environment and our sense of<br />
touch, <strong>the</strong> Helizarin ® <strong>ECOSOFT</strong> <strong>Printing</strong><br />
<strong>System</strong> is unlike any o<strong>the</strong>r. Gentle on your skin<br />
and bringing shades of brilliance to textile.<br />
Indulge in <strong>the</strong> softness and inviting feel that<br />
<strong>ECOSOFT</strong> gives, while knowing that you are<br />
caring for <strong>the</strong> environment. An eco-efficient<br />
solution backed by results from BASF’s<br />
Eco-efficient Analysis, <strong>ECOSOFT</strong> contributes<br />
to resource saving and climate protection.<br />
It reduces <strong>the</strong> total cost and ecological impact<br />
on <strong>the</strong> environment over <strong>the</strong> whole print cycle.<br />
• Softer Touch<br />
Delightfully soft to handle, prints with <strong>ECOSOFT</strong><br />
provide a comfortable and pleasant feel for your<br />
everyday comfort.<br />
• Vivid Colors<br />
Vibrant with deeper depth of shades, <strong>ECOSOFT</strong><br />
gives you brilliant colored prints while keeping a<br />
softer handle.<br />
• Excellent Fastness<br />
Steadfast prints with enhanced fastness are<br />
signature of <strong>ECOSOFT</strong>. Extend <strong>the</strong> life of your<br />
textile articles without having to be concerned about<br />
multiple washes or frequent exposure to sunlight.<br />
• Resource Saving<br />
Eco-efficient solution adding both economical and<br />
ecological values. Final washing, <strong>the</strong> extensive and<br />
energy-intensive step in printing is no longer<br />
necessary with <strong>ECOSOFT</strong>. As a result, it significantly<br />
reduces <strong>the</strong> consumption of water and energy thus<br />
contributing to resource saving and climate protection.<br />
The Helizarin ® <strong>ECOSOFT</strong><br />
<strong>Printing</strong> <strong>System</strong> is more<br />
eco-efficient compared to<br />
reactive printing, as <strong>the</strong><br />
extensive and<br />
energy-intensive final<br />
washing of <strong>the</strong> print is no<br />
longer necessary. As a<br />
result, it significantly<br />
reduces <strong>the</strong> consumption<br />
of water and energy used.<br />
