The Multiplexed Laser Surface Enhancement (MLSE) system is a revolutionary breakthrough which enables fibres and fabrics to be converted for enhanced hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, fire retardancy and antimicrobial functionalities without the use of harmful chemicals or water.  This radical new technology works with all natural and manmade fibres and has the potential to revolutionise the global textile manufacturing and processing sector.  Removal of chemicals, particularly fluorocarbons from the processing operation offers massive environmental improvements and the introduction of dry processing can reduce energy usage across processes from wool scouring to textile finishing
