A wet processing technology which uses air in form of dispersion foam for the media of application is called foam finishing. The process consists of mechanically forming a suitable formulated finish or dye formulation and then applying the foam to textile fabrics. Collapse of the foam distributes the finish on the substrate. The fabric is[…]
Definition of Resin Synthetic resins are complex organic products of high molecular weight. Resin results when a number of simple molecular of low molecular weight become jointed together and to end to form much longer molecules which may be linear or linear molecules cross-linked. The main outlet of resins has been the plastic industry and[…]
We know textile is a vast sector; it is not confined within a specific limit because it has limitless end-used items. Textile mainly deals fibres – maybe these are natural or synthetic. Whatever may be the fibres, it is well known, to all apart from its fibre stage to finishing stage (end-use stage), it involves[…]
Definition of Pilling Pilling is a fabric surface fault characterized by little ‘pills’ of entangled fibre clinging to the cloth surface and giving the garment an unsightly appearance. It is bunches or balls of tangled fibres which are held to the surface of a fabric by one or more fibres. The pills are formed during[…]
Definition of Bleaching A process of whitening fibres or fabrics or depriving a colored material. This is brought about by using various bleaching-agents. Generally chlorine is used for cotton and other vegetable fibres and peroxide and sulphur dioxide for animal fibres. Bleaching of Cotton Cotton is bleached in the raw state (as yarns) or in[…]
Introduction Static electricity can cause many processing problems for textile materials, especially those made form hydrophobic synthetic fibres. In most dry textile processes, fibres and fabrics move at high speeds over various surfaces which can generate electrostatic charging from frictional forces. This electrical charge can cause fibres and yarns to repel each other, leading to ballooning. Fabrics and non-woven are also affected[…]
