TEXTILE FINISHING; CONVENTIONAL AND SPECIAL FINISHES FOR TEXTILE FABRICS AND YARNS

-

Textile or Fabric Finishing

The textile finishing is an important process for production of finished textile fabrics and garments. Textile finishing usually includes treatments such as scouring finishing, bleaching finishing, dyeing and/or printing, the final mechanical finishing or chemical finishing operations of textiles, that during this stage are carried out on textile products (staple, sliver or top, yarns or filaments, woven or knitted fabrics to enhance their basic characteristics like dye penetration, printability, wettability, colour, hand, and appearance of textile material.

By special textile finishing, we also mean all the processing operations that, though included in the so called finishing stage, are generally applied to the textile fabrics to improve their appearance, hand and properties, at times in accordance with their field of application.

The textile finishing stage plays a fundamental role in the excellency of the commercial results of textiles, which strictly depend on market requirements that are becoming increasingly stringent and unpredictable, permitting very short response times for textile manufacturers. The latest finishing machines on the market used for textile finishing operations generally offer multi-purpose applications; the flexibility and versatility features of these finishing machines are uninterruptedly evolving to grant excellent consistency of the results in finishing process.

The making of a marketable consumer-usable textile fabric is not completed after fabric formation, dyeing, or printing. Fabrics usually still need to undergo and additional processing know as textile finishing, which is the final processing before the fabric is cut into apparel or made into articles such as towels, curtains, or draperies. Finishing is what makes fabrics more suitable for their intended end use. Final inspection to ascertain fabric quality is performed at the completion of finishing. There are many types of finishes; some make fabrics softer after finishing, some stiffer after finishing, some water-repellent after finishing, and some shrink-resistant after finishing. Some fabrics may have two or more finishing treatments at a time in the finishing machine. Certain finishes are so temporary that they completely lose their effectiveness after one laundering. Therefore, understanding textile finishes and the properties they impart, the fibers and fabrics to which they may be applied, and their limitations and shortcomings is important to an overall understanding of textiles.

Most textiles finishing processing are performed in the same plants as dyeing or printing. Most dyers and printers are also finishers, with finishing being considered a separate but integrated department of the dyeing or printing organization.

Classification of textile Finishes and finishing process:

Textile finishing operations can be carried out by means of discontinuous, continuous and semi continuous systems according to the finishing machine.

Discontinuous or batch-type systems of finishing:

A single or individual finishing machine is used to complete all the finishing stages.After taking all types of preparation the finishing machine is loaded with the textile material. Predetermined cycles are carry out according to the finishing process. After completing the process the machine is unload and finally wash it thoroughly before starting a new cycle. This process is suitable for small batch and the working procedures are most easy and flexible. for example, it is easy to a carry out a bleaching process on a single machine, and then a scouring one followed by a dyeing process. The discontinuous process is labour-intensive for the production of large production because it necessary more man power to handle and transport the textile material; it is also a time oriented process and results that can change  from one lot to another.

Continuous systems of finishing: 

 A series of machines are required for continuous finishing system. Each machine carries out always and solely the same process.According to production requirements each finishing machine are arranged. Initial cost of this system is higher and the machine set up very much complex.but once the system has developed according to proper plane, it requires a smaller manpower and grants excellent repeat ability and high production rates; So it is stat that the continuous system is beneficial for producing large batch of textile material with the highest cost-efficiency and productivity.

Semi-continuous systems of finishing: 

Semi continuous finishing system is modern and result oriented method. In this system the continuous finishing machine and discontinuous finishing machines are used for better performance.For explain the procedure it is said that a continuous finishing machine is used to wet the textile material. The machine could be continuous pad batch machine, The small and medium lots are suitable for these mixed systems of finishing. In that process the quality of the product is higher but the cost is medium but more manpower is required.

Textile finishes and finishing are classified in several ways, the most common classifications being aesthetic finishes, which modify the appearance and/or hand or drape of fabrics, and functional finishes, which improve the performance properties of fabrics. The textile finishes discussed in this articles are presented in these two categories.

Finishes are also classified as chemical finishes and mechanical finishes. Those finishing are also called wet finishing and dry finishing, respectively. Wet finishes are normally used to textile material by padding, followed by drying or curing.Mechanical finishing are special types of process used to change change the  appearance by changing the surface the fabric or any textile material. It related to specific physical treatment . Finishes are also categorized by their degree of permanence. These finishes are called durable,semi durable temporary and permanent finish. Permanent finishes do not change or alter throughout the life of a textile material. usually involve the change in structure of fibre structure by special chemicals.

ABSTRACT

Barriers of production are the major issue in apparel garmentmanufacturing which determines the effectiveness of total garments system and run the process towards the up to mark standard. The main objective of this project is to determine the suitable tools can be used specially for textile garments manufacturing, find out the problems restricting the production, generating proper solution and implement them in a proper way. In this study all data included of production capacity both for past state and present state which shows the comparative improvement of before implementation and after implementation of these tools. Methodology of this project was to find out the barriers, non productive time and determine the best possible way to eliminate major problems which are responsible for productivity loss in apparel garments sector.

The phase-out of the quota is likely to have particular significance for the export of Bangladesh apparels to the US market. MFA’s impacts are not much related to a question of our $2 billion exports to the USA; or the $5 billion worth of exports made by Bangladesh globally. Rather, it is a question of how Bangladesh’s entire economy will be affected by the issue of quota phase out. Readymade garment exports constitute about 85% of Bangladesh’s annual export and provide direct employment to 1.5 million females and indirectly an additional 8 to 10 million people. The global clothing trade is evolving on a continuous basis and that the phase out of quota restrictions and forming of trade blocs has become a reality. Moreover Bangladesh is convulsed by fierce class struggles, centered on the country’s garment industry. Many tens of thousands of workers have gone on strike, blocked roads, attacked factories and other buildings, demonstrated, fought the police and rioted in the streets. Every day comes news of fresh strikes in a variety of industries —mainly the ready-made garment (RMG) sector, but also mill workers, river transport workers, rail workers, journalists, lecturers and teachers. A massive army and police presence around garment factories, in some cases completely blockading and creating check points for entry to Export ProcessingZones, temporarily calmed things; but strikes continued to take place at numerous factories, leading to solidarity strikes from nearby workplaces and semi- spontaneous demonstrations.

TINTING WITH WHITE DISCHARGE EFFECT ON DENIM GARMENTS

TINTING:
Coloration that produces a very pale shade. A tint usually represents the minimum amount of color that will give perceptible appearance of coloration. In yarn processing, fugitive tints are used for identification, and then removed in wet processing.

Tinting (also called over-dyeing) Laundries often tint denim to try to make it look more vintage, or to achieve a different cast. The telltale signs of a pair of jeans that have been tinted are that the pocket lining and labels are dyed as well as the jeans.

TINTING WITH WHITE DISCHARGE EFFECT ON DENIM GARMENTS

The standard route to blasting/discharging/tinting is quite elaborate, in the light of three effects to be imparted on the same garment. There have been short cuts, which may be right/wrong/ingenious. If tinting is done on blasted/discharged areas, it obviously remains a spray method. However, if the tinting is overall, it follows the dyeing route. The process starts on gray garment being hand blasted followed by desizing and biopolishing. After drying the garment, tint-spray is given followed by air/machine drying and finishing. For tinting by dyeing method, the biopolished garment can straight away go for tinting wet-on-wet followed by finishing and drying.
In case of white discharge tinting the route would start with desizing-biopolishing on gray garment, peroxide bleaching after biopolishing being optional. After drying the garment, a potassium permanganate spray is given to areas where white discharge is aimed at. After air-drying for about 10-15 minutes, a neutralization step consisting of provide-acetic acid is given which is followed by hot and cold rinses. In case of spray tinting the garment will have to be dried first, whereas for overall tinting, dyeing the method could be followed wet-on-wet. Finally the finishing and drying would complete the process.
