TEXTILE FINISHING CHEMICALS PROCESSES 
3

• Textile production involves a long array of
  processes. The conversion of yarn to finished
  goods is a magnificent transformation.
• Textile finishing is an important milestone where
  the textile gets the desired properties. Several
  types of finishing processes take place.
• The blog talks about chemical finishing, why is
  it necessary and what chemicals play a
  significant role in it?
• Chemical finishing treats the fabric (or fiber)
  so that it attains the desired properties that
  are impossible by mechanical means. For example,
  bringing luster and softness to the fabric.

A) Bringing the elasticity in the fabric

• Every fabric should have the elasticity of some
  degree, but it is an important and essential
  property in material used in making knitwear.
• In the textile manufacturing process,
  silicone-based products are ideal for bringing
  durable elasticity. The process helps the fabric
  to retain its shape without any deformation
  quickly.

B) Keeping the crease intact

• It is essential for a good-quality fabric to have
  a crease-resistant finish.  Even after washing
  multiple times, crease and pleats remain
  unaffected.

6
C) Enhancing resistance

1. Chemical processes introduce various qualities in
   the fabric that make it more useful and
   versatile. For example, crease resistance keeps
   the fabric in a proper shape even after multiple
   washes.
2. Anti-pilling property keeps the tiny masses of
   tangled fibers away. Thus, the fabric retains its
   charm and luster longer.

• 3) Reducing the penetration of water is also a
  desired property in some applications. Chemical
  processes can make a piece of fabric waterproof.
• 4) The objective is to achieve higher levels of
  waterproofing without compromising the
  breathability (penetration of air) to make the
  fabric comfortable to wear.

D) Making the fabric mildew and bacteria resistant

• Chemicals can increase the anti-mildew properties
  of fabrics. In the damp and humid areas, the
  outbreak of mildew is quite common.
• Since the growth of mildew causes permanent
  damage to the fabric, chemical processes are used
  to make it mildew resistant. Phenol derivatives
  are used for it.

9

• Similarly, specific processes make the fabric
  bacteria-resistant by using certain chemicals.
  These fabrics are used in hospitals or sterile
  environment.
• Special antimicrobial solution is used to protect
  it from bacterial manifestation. These fabrics
  are required in the medical sector.

E) Aesthetic qualities

1. Chemical processing can enhance aesthetic
   qualities by preventing staining or
   discoloration.
2. Thus, chemicals can introduce various useful
   properties in the fabrics. TIt is the reason
   they are part and partial of the manufacturing
   process.
3. It is important to use good-quality chemicals to
   achieve great results.
