The textile industries dye polyester yarn or fabric use disperse dye for its versatile color. The dyes are hydrophobic, so the dispersing agent is required to spread the dye onto the yarn or fabric surface. Here high temperature and pressure are also required to fix the dye particles into the fibre molecules. The dyes hold[…]
Spinning is a process by which textile fibres are processed into yarns. All the fibres are not textile fibres. To be a textile fibre it should has some specific properties. Now we will know about it in a nut shell. Factors of a Model Textile Fibre for Spinning For considering as a textile fibre it[…]
Definition of Disperse Dye The term ‘Disperse dye’ is an organic coloring substance which is free from ionizing group are of low water solubility and are suitable for dyeing hydrophobic textile materials from colloid dispersion. It has low molecular weight and derivatives of Azo, Anthra – quinine, Di phynile amine and other component. Properties of[…]
Reactive dyes are special coloring agents that textile industries use for dyeing fibre, yarn, fabrics, and garments. These dyes are popular in the textile industry because they make colors that fix well and don’t fade quickly. Unlike other dyes that fix on the fabric’s surface, reactive dyes combine with the fabric’s molecules through a chemical[…]
A fibre is obtained from a plant, animal, or mineral. Commercially important natural fibres are those cellulosic fibres obtained from the seed hairs, stems, and leaves of plants; protein fibres obtained from the hair, fur, or cocoons of animals; and the crystalline mineral asbestos. Vegetable fibres are generally comprised mainly of cellulose: examples include cotton, coir, kapok, jute, flax, ramie, hemp, pina,[…]
Definition of Reactive Dye Reactive dyes are a class of colored compounds that chemically bind to fibers like cotton, rayon, or linen to impart color resistance to washing and fading. To apply reactive dyes properly, we need a process with controlled conditions. Usually, they are used in an alkaline bath with sodium carbonate or sodium[…]
Mixing Mixing could be thought of combining of fibres together in somewhat haphazard proportion whose physical properties are partially known so that, the resultant mixture has only generally known average physical properties which are not easily reproducible. Blending Blending is based on the measurement of important fibre properties i.e, length, strength, cleanliness, e.t.c. Quantitatively proportioning[…]
Yarn is a material made from staple fibre or continuous filaments used to make fabrics, sweaters, scarfs, and sewing garments. Knitting and weaving factories depend on yarn to produce textiles. Sweater factories also totally depend on yarns to make sweaters. Besides, in our daily life, it has a variety of uses like sewing, crocheting, etc.[…]
Introduction A soft fiber, most likely, is essential and a king fiber. The cotton plant (Gossypium harbasium), grows in tropical and subtropical regions. It has a universal textile use and also in the production of paper and plastics. The plant originated from India to Europe the Arabs; hence, the name is cotton (Qutun). It is[…]
Selection and Batching The selection of jute fibre from the assorted jute to produce a particular type of jute yarn is termed as the “batch”. It is done by a group of people called selectors who performed the task through a “hand-and-eye” assessment. Factors Responsible for Batch Selection The selection of a particular fibre batch for[…]
