Cotton -- The King of Fibres (Part XIII)

Reactive printing accounts for approximately 60 percent of world cotton and cellulosic fabric printing. The reaction of the dye molecule to the -OH group in cellulose results in a permanent fixation of the dye molecule to the fabric. The process yields brilliant colors, a soft fabric hand, and excellent washfastness and rubfastness. Howev..

Cotton -- The King of Fibres (Part - XII)

Aqueous pigment printing systems replace MTO/derosene with a water based, polycarboxylic acid thickener to imrprove the environmental friendliness of the process and eliminate the kerosene smell. Aqueous pigment prints exhibit good washfastness and rubfastness but are less bright due to the formation of a transparent film over the pigment..

Consideration of Structural Defects in Modified Synthetic Fibers in Determining Their Physicomechanical Properties

Treating fibers with solutions of salts, polymers, and other chemical compounds can alter their physical, mechanical, and chemical properties. Researchers investigated the effects of chemical treatments on the physical and mechanical properties of polycaproamide fibers. Chemical treatment of the fibers entailed aqueous solutions of the sa..

Use of Fluoropolymer Emulsions in Textile Industry: Chemistry, Classification and Application

Polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) dispersions for textile applications result from emulsion polymerization and contain 23-30 percent polymer particles and some surfactant in an aqueous medium. Due to their highly fluorinated alkyl groups, impregnation of PTFE dispersions into fibers imparts high levels of oil and water resistance. Recent deve..

Chemical Fibers -- Additives with Special Functions

A wide range of additives can be incorporated into the melt during the extrusion of manmade fibers. Most manmade fibers contain titanium dioxide. Other important additives include those that facilitate filtration during extrusion, improve stability to heat and/or light, whiten or color, and act as flameproofing agents or weighting agents...

How to Extrude Copolyester TPE Film

An introduction to copolyester tetrapolyethylene (TPE) films addresses applications of TPE, extruder considerations, optimizing screw design, grades, rheological properties, cast TPE films, blown film, and extrusion coating. General purpose screws with long transitions control melt temperature well, but provide poor color dispersion and o..
