Though no data are available for the specific waste flows for this process their contribution to the environmental impact of this process can be assumed as low. Water losses due to evaporation are not recorded.6The data set represents the country / region specific situation, focusing on the main technologies, the region specific characteristics and / or import statistics.Though the fabric is dried after printing, the colour is not yet fixed. The drying process only prevents the colour from smearing during the transport over the guide rollers. The fixation of the printed colour is typically achieved with steaming. The water vapour condenses on the printed fabric material. This leads to a heating of the print and the inflation of the thickeners. The condensed water also acts as a transport medium for the diffusion of the dye. The distribution of the dye between the fibre and thickener determines the degree of fixation of the dye. Often the thickener consists of polysaccharides, so it competes with the cellulose fibres like viscose in retaining the dye, which is called the #retaining power# of the thickener. On that account the fixation rate is for a given dye about 10 % lower in printing than in dyeing.Provision of a standard technical product according to the applied technology.f316fe09-9008-11db-b606-0800200c9a66_Textile_Steaming.jpgUnit process, single operationAttributionalNoneNot applicableFor details please see the document "GaBi Databases Modelling Principles"All data used in the calculation of the LCI results refer to net calorific value.NoneCut-off rules for each unit process: Coverage of at least 95 % of mass and energy of the input and output flows, and 98 % of their environmental relevance (according to expert judgement).

It can be used to characterise related processes in LCAs. The modelling includes the process in itself. The supply of energy and raw material has to be combined specifically for each location. Process can be used for: cotton, silk, wool, polyacrylic, viscose, polyester and silk-acetate fabricNo statementThe LCI method applied is in compliance with ISO 14040 and 14044. The documentation includes all relevant information in view of the data quality and scope of the application of the respective LCI result / data set. The dataset represents the state-of-the-art in view of the referenced functional unit.thinkstepIABP-GaBiIBP-GaBiThe dataset and systems, which are provided with our software and databases for public use into a broad user community, are constantly used, compared, benchmarked, screened, reviewed and results published in various external, professional and third party LCA applications in industry, academia and politics. So user feedback via the online GaBi forum or direct via user information is a standard routine in the maintenance and update process and leads to stable quality and constant control and improvement of data, if knowledge or technology improves or industrial process chains develop or change.GaBi user forumGaBi bug forumGaBi user communityGaBi conformity systemFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantNot definedUNEP SETAC Life Cycle InitiativeNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedILCD Data Network - Entry-levelNot definedNot definedFully compliantNot definedNot definedNot definedthinkstepThe data set represents a cradle to gate inventory. It can be used to characterise the supply chain situation of the respective commodity in a representative manner. Combination with individual unit processes using this commodity enables the generation of user-specific (product) LCAs. The data set does not necessarily fit for any possible specific supply situation - especially if significantly different technology routes exist - but is representative for a common supply chain situation.thinkstep2018-02-01T00:00:00.000ILCD format 1.1thinkstepNo official approval by producer or operator2018-02-01T00:00:00.00000.00.001Data set finalised; entirely publishedGaBi databasesthinkstep / ENEAtrueOtherGaBi (source code, database including extension modules and single data sets, documentation) remains property of thinkstep AG. thinkstep AG delivers GaBi licenses comprising data storage medium and manual as ordered by the customer.
