CARTESIO EFFECT EFFETTO CARTESIO CARTESIO EFFECT creates unrepeatable geometries and looks, made of dots of individual colors - as if they were manually painted by an artist. When different colors are mixed together by using LINEX BASE and LEGAFINISH NET the rules of conventional physics are no more respected. The resulting shade in the suspension is not the sum of the single colors. It is a suspension of individual colored particles, waiting to find their places onto the fabric.
THE CHEMICALS CARTESIO EFFECT is Garmon last innovative solution made possible by LINEX BASE and LEGAFINISH NET.
LINEX BASE is a microgel able to incapsulate color and LEGAFINISH NET is an agent triggering the release of the microgel onto the fabric surface.

GARMENTS PREPARATION CARTESIO EFFECT is applied in the last phases of processing, after common washing or EFFETTO CARTESIO dyeing steps. It is recommended to run a biopolishing phase before the application, in
order to eliminate the surface pilling, Improve the final handfell and facilitate the adhesion of the color particles to the fabric.
COLORS PREPARATION Each color has to be encapsulated separately into LINEX BASE, as per following:
LINEX BASE
85 – 90%
CPD PIGMENT
10 – 15%
Colors can be prepared in advance, since they are stable for a few days.
MIXTURE PREPARATION Prepare a solution with the below products, taking care to follow this order: LEGAFINISH NET
up to 100%
Encapsulated Colors
6% max total
LEGAFINISH VS18
10 – 15%
CATAL LT
1%
Mix well, avoiding too high speeds if using mechanical stirrer. Above mixture is stable for a few hours, stirring before the use.
APPLICATION & FINISHING •
Apply the solution by spray, locally or all-over the garment, taking care to reduce the pressure of the gun.
•
Dry thoroughly and cure in static oven at 140°C for 15 – 20 minutes.
•
Softener
It is also possible to develop applications by glove, sponge, brush, etc.
