The textile industry accounts for 8% of global emissions and is the second-largest industrial water user after agriculture, with dyeing and finishing among the biggest contributors. Xefco’s Ausora™ technology eliminates water use and significantly cuts energy and chemical consumption, offering a scalable solution for a more sustainable textile industry.
Ausora™ employs an advanced plasma coating process that operates at atmospheric pressure, utilizing electricity and argon gas to generate plasma. This process applies ultra-thin, durable coatings to a wide range of textiles, both natural and synthetic, without the need for water. The technology enables the application of vibrant colors and functional finishes, such as water repellency and fire retardancy, in a single, efficient step.
