Difference between steam setting and steam drying in printing and dyeing

The reaction type and treatment time are different.

1, reactive type: steam setting means that after the dye or pigment is printed on the textile, under the action of hot steam, the dye reacts with the fiber to fix the pigment on the fiber; Steam drying is a physical reaction, which exposes printed or dyed textiles to steam to remove moisture from textiles.

2. Process time: steam setting takes a certain time to ensure that the reaction between dye and fiber is fully carried out; Steam drying can quickly remove water from fibers.
