SPECIAL FINISHES TO GARMENT
Special Finishes to Garment
INTRODUCTION:
Unless any product is characterized by value addition it is now impossible to survive in this highly competitive world market. Processing is important to make a usable but finishing gives value addition to it. It makes garments attractive, comfortable & finishing can incorporate desirable properties. Finishing is the heart of textile processing.
Value addition = {(Technology) + (Innovation)} x Quality
Past are the days of traditional and conventional fabrics, which are super fed by fabrics with multi-functional finishes. Indeed, days are now of research and development of a huge spectrum of various advancements in fabric finishes in order to project world class fabric in the world class market at the most competitive rates .a range of new fabric finishes need to developed and manufactured which will give an innovative edge to the textile sector in various applications. In addition to the specialty we are unique for certain special application and more emphasis should be laid on the derivation of various textile finishes with numerous features and characteristics which should be merge for multifold applications to create “all in one universal application”.
Set against following background the driving forces for change in finishing of fabric have been considered to be the need for competitive strategy that utilizes;
• Chemical compatibility to provide one-shot multifunctional finishes.
• Cost reduction through process integration and minimizing the consumption of all utilities.
• More environmentally friendly and application method.
• Cost reduction through minimization of effluent treatment cost.
• Improve process control, monitoring and automation.
• Greater innovation in chemical finishes.
• Quick response through right-first-time, right-on –time, right-every-time finishing.
In this way, it should be possible for finishing department to satisfy the aesthetic and functional performance demands of customers, stimulate the market through the innovation to create greater novelty and variety and maintain a technical and a cost-competitive edge, while providing satisfactory solution to the environmental issues.
Finishing of textile fabric is carried out to increase attractiveness and/or serviceability of the fabric. Different finishing treatments are available to get various effects, which add value to the basic textile material. The domestic readymade garment sector is booming, and garment processing has emerged as one of the important production routes towards meeting quick changing demands of the fashion market. In this article discussed various special finishes to garment.
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
There are two methods of garment finishing.
• Dip process.
• Tumbling process.
Dip process: -
• Dip the garment inside out in finishing chemical keeping MLR 1:5. Washing machine may be used.
• Rotate the garment for 20 min.
• Hydro extract the garment to 70 to 80% pick up.
• Tumble dry at 70 0 C to moisture content 10 - 12 %.
• Turn the garment right side out.
• Iron/steam presses the garment to set the creases at desired places.
• Cure at 150 - 160 0 C
Tumble method: -
In this process the garment are placed (inside out) into a machine with sealed (not perforated) cylinder and application of recipe by either pumping or spraying. The drum is turned for 20 min there should not be excessive dripping of chemicals from the garment. If so more tumbling time is allowed. This method is being used more and more due to the fact that there is no wastage of chemicals. After saturation the garments are hydro extracted tumble dry at 70 0 C to 10 - 20 % pick up moisture content. The iron and steam press the garments to remove/set creases. Cure at 150 - 160 0 C for 8 - 10 min.
Important features: -
• MLR should not be less than 1: 0.85 for the garment weighing 600 gm and 1:1 for those weighing more than 600 gm.
• Minimum time of tumbling should be 20 min.
• Tumble rotation speed 20 - 30 rpm.
• Tumble drying temp. Should not be more than 70 0 C.
• Moisture retention after drying should be 10 - 12%.
