An Introduction to Fulling and Finishing Fabrics with Use Sanforising An Introduction to Fulling and Finishing Fabrics w | Page 6

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of different types of softeners and sanforising ( with use of sanforising felt machine ) treatments on the pilling trend of polyester and viscose blended fabric , which , nowadays , is a widely used blend due to its cost-deficiency and suitable end-use properties . Treatment is one of the most frequent types of finish applied to the fabrics . The technical literature of the softeners provided by way of manufacturers usually does not contain information on the effect of the softener ' s chemistry on the material pilling performance . This is hoped that the results of the study will help the practical finishers in better number of appropriate softener chemistry , particularly in cases when the pilling performance of the textile features critical importance .
