The dye deposited on the fabric can diffuse into the interior of the fiber by a single molecule under the high temperature. Dyeing can be finished in a short time.
Fluorescent paint attachs to the fiber surface by padding and then help paint the fiber surface fixation through the adhesive resin components, which can increase the degree of color fastness. Due to the resin contained in the adhesive effect, the fabric will feel hardened.
