Is wrinkling a problem with the CO2 Cleaning process?
In general wrinkling is no worse than with a standard Perc or Petroleum process and there is much less wrinkling than with a wet cleaning process. As with other cleaning methods, acetates do tend to wrinkle a little more in the CO2 process, but because of the low operating temperature, these wrinkles are not heat set into the material and can usually be relaxed with steam before pressing. The finishing time with acetates can be a little longer than with conventional cleaning processes, but this time is generally offset by the other advantages to the CO2 cleaning process.
