LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN FINISHING IN TEXTILES
TEXTILE:
A textile is anything that is made up of fibers, yarns, or fabrics. The basic building blocks of textile products are fibers. Fibers are usually long thin materials that have a length at least one hundred times their diameter. To be useful in textiles fibers must have some desirable properties such as strength, abrasion resistance, flexibility, or moisture absorption. FINISHING:
In textile manufacturing, finishing refers to any process performed on yarn or fabric after weaving or knitting 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 mercerization, are byproducts of the Industrial Revolution.
ADVANTAGES OF TEXTILE FINISHING: Textile finish is an important step in the entire textile value chain and suited for innovative process and product development: * Textile finishing accounts for about 50% of the added value of the textile product * Implementation of innovative finishing techniques, additives and processes largely expands the application fields of textiles * Improved appearance– luster, whiteness etc.
Improved feel which depends on the handle of the fabric and its softness, suppleness, fullness etc. It improves the wearing qualities – Nonsoiling ant crease * It gives special properties required for particulars uses –water proofing, Flame proofing etc. * It covers the faults of the original cloth
It increases the weight of the fabric * It increases the sale value of the material * It improves the serviceability of the fabric Hence finishing is essential for a textile good before they are put in to the market.
