New innovative and contact-free DENIM WITH WEKO-NEO exact pick-up control due to forced spray spray applicators are revolutionizing application. WEKO could adjust penetra- tion level to fabric and therefore creates the whole finishing process. The worldwide DENIM production is penetration only when needed.
