  • 26. Dry Finishing of Wool Fabrics
    26. Dry Finishing of Wool Fabrics Mike Pailthorpe Learning objectives By the end of this lecture, you should be able to: • Describe the various methods that are available for the drying of wool fabrics. • Understand the need for conditioning wool fabrics after drying. • Outline the methods used in the brushing of wool fabrics. • Describe the process of shearing. • Outline the principles involved in the decatising of wool fabrics. • Explain the need for the steaming of wool fabrics. Key terms and concepts Drying, conditioning, raising, shearing, singeing, pressing, decatising, steaming, perching. Introduction The so called dry finishing processes for wool fabrics follow on after hydroextraction and scutching, beginning with drying. One of the objects in wool fabric finishing is to dry the fabric only once, thereby making substantial energy savings. Drying is the process of removing water from wool textiles via the application of heat energy. The three methods of transferring heat energy from one object to another are conduction, convection and radiation. However, for a variety of reasons, convection dryers are preferred for wool fabrics, with the stenter being the most widely used drying machine. After drying the wool fabrics must be conditioned to a regain of 14-16% before further processing. Depending upon the finish required, the wool fabrics may then either be shorn to remove surface fibres or brushed to create a pile of surface fibres. The brushed pile may be shorn to cut the pile fibres to a uniform height or to achieve a sculptured pattern. The wool fabrics are then pressed using either flat, rotary or belt presses to achieve the desired appearance, lustre and handle characteristics.

There is an organised, decentralised sector and down the line, there are weavers, artisans as well as the farmers. Emerging technologies will always be the best available technologies keeping energy saving in mind as policy makers and regulators are addressing environmental issues in industries with the application of abatement strategy. This will improve the environmental performance of the industries and also limits pollutant discharges and helps the environment. Textile producers can sustain their competitiveness in a liberalised and competition-driven market only when they are able to develop new markets and enhance productivity by raising their real end product and investing in emerging technology.

  • Processing Problems of Polyester and Its Remedies
    International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT) ISSN: 2278-0181 Vol. 1 Issue 7, September - 2012 Processing Problems Of Polyester And Its Remedies Dr.Chinta S.K*. and Rajesh Kumar singh D.K.T.E.S Textile and Engineering Institute, Ichalakaranji. ABSTRACT Polyester is predominantly used synthetic fiber in textile fiber industry since 1950. Today there are varieties of commercial forms of polyester available in market viz. Texturized polyester, Bright polyester, Dull polyester, Cationic dyeable polyester, Cot look polyester, Microfiber polyester, Air punched polyester, Staple fiber polyester & its blends. The extensive use of polyester in textile industry & High rate of growth of polyester fibers is due to their outstanding physical properties, resistance to moth, mildew and microorganism, ease of handle, easy to dye & easy to care during use. Also they can be successfully blended with cotton with various proportions either in fiber form or yarn in fabric form. It has high durability compared to other fibers used in apparel industry. In spite of its outstanding performance, there are some shortcomings in polyester fabric & its blends for example: Hydrophobic nature, ease of soiling, static charge builds up, Tendency to pill, some problems may occur due to improper processing sequence such as Shrinkage, due to improper heat setting dyeability varies, colour fading in checks & strip fabrics. Therefore it is necessary to analyze different physical & chemical properties of polyester available in varies commercial forms, so we can understand reasons for problems occurring in its wet processing & to eliminate this problems. INTRODUCTION Polyester is a synthetic fiber derived from coal, air, water, and petroleum.

  • A Study of the Reasons for Shrink-Resistance and Machine Washability of Superlight Weight, Woven, Pure Wool Fabrics
    A STUDY OF THE REASONS FOR SHRINK-RESISTANCE AND MACHINE WASHABILITY OF SUPERLIGHT WEIGHT, WOVEN, PURE WOOL FABRICS BY CATHRYN ELIZABETH LEE SCHOOL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES SUPERVISORS: ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR MARK HOFFMAN, EMERITUS PROFESSOR MIKE PAILTHORPE, DR SURINDER TANDON A Thesis Submitted for Fulfillment of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy FEBRUARY, 2006 “Woollens should be washed early in the morning, on a bright, breezy day for preference. The more quickly they are dried the less they will shrink” Common-Sense Laundry Book, p50, The NSW Cookery Teachers’ Association, George B. Philip & Son, Sydney (circa 1920). i ABSTRACT The washing of wool textiles has been an ongoing problem for the wool industry as the conditions of washing, especially in an automatic washing machine invariably lead to the felting shrinkage of the fabric. Much research effort has gone into the prevention of felting shrinkage to make wool fabrics ‘machine washable’, however the processes which have been most effective in achieving this alter the properties of the fibres. This project has been an investigation into the reasons for the shrink-resistance of a woven, pure wool, fabric that has not been treated with any chemical shrink-resist treatments. The fabric was developed by Canesis Network Limited, as part of ongoing research into weavable singles yarns. It has been found that, for the fabrics in this project, felting shrinkage resistance is dependent upon a unique yarn structure with high levels of twist, tight fabric construction with high end and pick density and short float lengths, and finishing processes which permanently set the fabric using heat and steam under lateral compression.

  • Introduction
    Introduction In textile manufacturing, finishing refers to any process performed on yarn or fabric after weaving to improve the look, performance, or "hand" (feel) of the finished textile or clothing. Some finishing techniques, such as fulling, have been in use with hand-weaving for centuries; others, such as mercerisation, are byproducts of the Industrial Revolution. Calendering Calendering is a finishing process used on cloth where fabric is folded in half and passed under rollers at high temperatures and pressures. Calendering is used on fabrics such as moire to produce its watered effect and also on cambric and some types of sateens. In preparation for calendering, the fabric is folded lengthwise with the front side, or face, inside, and stitched together along the edges. The fabric can be folded together at full width, however this is not done as often as it is more difficult. The fabric is then run through rollers that polish the surface and make the fabric smoother and more lustrous. High temperatures and pressure are used as well. Fabrics that go through the calendering process feel thin, glossy and papery. The calendering finish is easily destroyed, and does not last well. Washing in water destroys it, as does wear with time. Decatising or decatizing Decatising or decatizing, also known as crabbing, blowing, and decating, is the process of making permanent a textile finish on a cloth, so that it does not shrink during garment making. The word comes from the French décatir, which means to remove the cati or finish of the wool. Though used mainly for wool, the term is also applied to processes performed on fabrics of other fibers, such as cotton, linen or polyester.
