Bio-polishing of Knit Goods and Influence of Bio-polishing Enzymes on Physical Properties of Cotton Knit Goods



Introduction:

Apart from polishing the fabrics, the treatment offers a number of other benefits in physical properties such as improvement in pill resistance, cooler fill, brighter luminosity of colors and softness. At the same time, the treatment results in certain adverse effects like loss in weight and strength. All the above effects are influenced by a number of factors like, composition

Yarns are dyed in package form or hank form by yarn dyeing process. Dyeing process can be vary depending on the individual procedure of a textile engineer or a dyeing master. Now I will give typical flow

List of Top Textile Engineering Colleges/Universities in Turkey



Textile sector provides for the dressing need which is one of the basic physiological requirements of humanity. So, we can say it is one of the oldest manufactures of the globe and also the headstone of the industrialization. Currently the textile sector is much more than a mere provider of dressing need as it has connections with almost all of the other sectors. Due to this rapid and

Creping Effect in Fabric | Mechanism of Creping | Process Sequence of Creping


Creping:


Creping is a special effect produced mostly on rayon.

Mechanism of Creping:
If a highly twisted yarn made from a fiber which has high swelling properties and which also shrinks very high is subjected to swelling process, the twisted yarn gets untwisted and during the same time shrinks and loop formation takes place.

For a good creping effect, the popular construction of a fabric

Common Problems/Causes and Remedies in Enzymatic Desizing


Desizing:

The purpose of a desizing process is to remove sizes that have been attached to warp yarns during a weaving process. Prior to the desizing process, therefore, the size analysis should be performed in order to set desizing conditions suitable for the sizes. Desizing Methods: Different methods of desizing are: A desizing method is selected on the basis of analysis of size , type of

Shout Out at Felt | Manufacturing Process of Felt



Introduction:

Most fabrics are either woven or knitted these days; with woven fabrics taking almost 60% of the total textiles and apparel. In reality, textile goes beyond woven and knitted fabrics. It actually starts from Felt. Felt is a material that requires neither the weaving technology, nor the sophisticated knitting technology. HISTORY: Felt may be the oldest fabric known to man; it

HLB Values of Surface Active Agents



“HLB VALUES” of Surface Active Agents



Surface active agents have varying properties depending on the nature and ratio of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. For example, among the anionic surfactants C₈-C₁₂ alkyl hydrophobes tends to be predominantly wetting agents, whilst the C₁₂-C₁₈ analogues exhibit better detergency and emulsifying properties. Clearly as the hydrophobic character of the

Mechanism of Dye Fixation Processes in Fabric


Introduction:
If a typical textile print is washed soon after printing and drying, a substantial part of the colour is removed. An appropriate fixation step is therefore necessary. Complete fixation can rarely be achieved, however, and the removal of unfixed dye, thickening and auxiliary chemicals in a subsequent washing process is usually required. The efficiency with which these processes of

Weighting of Silk | Object of Silk Weighting | Silk Weighting Process


Weighting of Silk:

The process of increasing the weight of the silk material is known as weighting of silk. Object of Silk Weighting:
