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.
