Discussion about : Hank / Count / Tex / Denier /

What is Hank? 840 yards is one hank. That 840 yards have to stay in a coal position. What is Count ? It is a number. So, number of hanks of 840 yards in 1 lb is called count. Count is measured by two systems. They are Length/unit weight Weight/ Unit length Example for length/unit weight                                               60's = (60*840) yards                                                     ...

Textile Fiber and its properties

What is Fiber? Generic term used to describe the basic element of the material from which yarns, textiles, knits and other substances are made. specific term used to describe the basic element characterized by a length that is at least 100 times the width of the fiber and by a definitely preferred orientation of its crystals unit cells with respect to the longitudinal axis. What is textile fiber? A fiber that can be spun into a yarn or processed into textiles such as fabric, knit, lace, felt, and non-woven etc. by means of an appropriate interlacing method. In order for a fiber, it should be classically spin-able, its length should be at least 5 mm. In addition, it must be supple or flexible, present sufficient cohesiveness and be strong...

Comparative Study Between High temperature Method and Carrier Method of Disperse Dye

DISPERSE DYEDisperse dye is originally developed for the dyeing of cellulose acetate. They are substantially water insoluble. The dyes are finely ground in the presence of a dispersing agent then sold as a paste or spray dried and sold as a powder. They can also be used to dye nylon, triacetate, polyester and acrylic fibres. In some cases a dyeing temperature of 130 deg C is required and a pressurised dyebath is used. The very fine particle size gives a large surface area that aids dissolution to allow uptake by the fibre. The dyeing rate can be significantly influenced by the choice of dispersing agent used during the grinding. Disperse dyes have low solubility in water, but they can interact with the polyester chains by forming...

Effect of PH on cotton dyeing with reactive dyes

Reactive dye are so called because their molecules react chemically with the fiber polymers of some fiber to from a covalent bond between the dye molecules and fiber polymer. Reactive dye is a class of highly colored organic substances, primarily utilized for tinting Textiles that attach themselves to their substrates by a chemical reaction that forms a covalent bond between the molecule of dye and that of the fiber. The dyestuff thus becomes a part of the fiber and is much less likely to be removed by washing them are dyestuffs that adhere by adsorption. The very first fiber-reactive dyes were designed for cellulose fibers, and are still used mostly in this way. There are also commercially available fiber-reactive dyes for protein...
