With the exception of the very simplest structures, it is too time consuming to represent warp knitted fabric using stitch or loop diagrams. For this reason two methods of fabric representation are commonly used a. Lapping diagrams, b. Numerical representation.

Warp knitting is the sequential formation and interlinking of loops in an axial direction on a lateral array of needles with at least one separate thread being supplied to each needle. The loops are joined together in a width-wise direction by moving the threads back and forth between adjacent needles.
Cellulosic chemical fibers of all lengths and degrees of refinement and with clearly different properties are at the disposal of the industry of nonwoven bonded fabrics. They are all characterized by the ability to absorb a fairly high amount of moisture. That recommends their use wherever this property is useful for the production of nonwoven bonded fabrics and/or the use of nonwoven bonded fabrics is even a precondition.

Governments enforce very strict regulations about the safety standards on consumer products in order to ensure the well being of its people. When a consumer is hurt, or killed due to the fault of the product of the product or malfunction of the product, the consumer or his/her relatives may sue the retailer who sold the goods and/or the importer who imported the goods and /or the manufacturer who made the goods for a very large amount of money.

When ‘colour’ is applied to a fabric it is termed as dyeing. Dyeing and printing of fabrics are usually done after routine or basic finishes but prior to the application of other finishes. It is mainly done to give color to the fabric and thus improve the appearance of the fabric.

Special finishes are done on textile materials to enable it to use for special purposes such as the finishing of fabrics with flame retardants can reduce the tendency to burn or reduce the tendency to propagate the flame. Laminating is the permanent joining of two or more prefabricated fabrics.

Fabrics to be used as raincoats, umbrellas, and tarpaulins have to be treated with chemicals to give them a property which makes them water resistant. The finish is called waterproofing and it is a durable finish. Water repellant finish is different from the waterproof finish. It means water, if showered on the fabric briefly, cannot make the fabric wet.

Routine finishes are applied to almost all fabrics with an aim to improve their appearance. A finish is anything that is done to a fabric after weaving or knitting, to changes its appearance, hand and performance. When a finish is applied, say on cotton, it might become more shiny, stronger or resist shrinking on washing. Similarly, other finishes may make the fabric softer or stiffer; water or stain resistant; coloured or designed.
