Topics in Textiles Finishes

1

Meaning and Importance of Textile Finishes

  • Textile finish refers to any treatment given to fiber, yarn, or fabric before or after fabrication to change its appearance, hand (feel), or performance.
  • Unfinished fabrics are called 'Grey' or 'Greige' fabrics.
  • Natural fibers require more preparatory steps due to natural impurities like waxes and gums.
2

Classification of Textile Finishes

  • Finishes are classified based on durability into permanent, semi-durable, and temporary.
  • Permanent finishes last the lifetime of the fabric (e.g., parchmentizing).
  • Semi-durable finishes last several washes.
3

Basic Textile Finishes

  • Scouring removes natural impurities like waxes, oils, and dirt using detergents and alkali.
  • Bleaching removes yellowish or brownish color to produce white fabric; uses oxidizing agents like sodium hypochlorite.
  • Singeing burns off protruding fibers for a smooth surface and better dye absorption.
4

Special Purpose Finishes

  • Water-repellent finishes resist water penetration but are not fully waterproof.
  • Flame-retardant finishes prevent fabric from catching fire easily; use phosphate or halogen compounds.
  • Wash-n-wear (durable press) finish helps fabric resist wrinkles and retain shape after washing.
