Abstract: Application of air plasma jet was studied for the materials of light industry (rubber, wood, fabrics). Regulation of temperature of remote plasma was used to apply high energy treatment on thermo-sensitive materials like denim fabric. Air plasma jet with adjusted plasma temperature permitted to realize effective colour fading of denim without heat damaging of denim fabric.
