Microencapsulation is one of the latest technologies used to impart an array of unique characteristics to a garment.Particles filled with active ingredients are applied to the fabric or garments for long-lasting effects.Odor control is a…

Textiles Industry has many working procedures which form flow processes. Each process makes various influences on the environment and human health.Therefore, many eco-friendly fibers have been invented which do not require the use of any…

The microscopic test is a technical test that involves identifying the fabric with the help of a microscope with a magnification of minimum 100 power. The test can easily distinguish between fibres.

Rayon is moisture absorbent (more so than cotton), breathable, comfortable to wear, and easily dyed in vivid colors. It does not build up static electricity, nor will it pill unless the fabric is made from short, low-twist yarns.

Of all the fibers, rayon is probably the most perplexing to consumers. It can be found in cotton-like end uses, as well as sumptuous velvets and taffetas. It may function successfully in absorbent hygiene and incontinence pads and equally…

The use and value of a fleece or lot of wool are affected almost as much by the distribution of the individual fiber diameters as the average fiber diameter or grade. The more uniform the individual fibers are in diameter, the more…

Certain qualities such as fineness, length, color, and appearance determine the end use and value of wool. Fineness largely determines whether the wool is used in a suit, sweater, blanket or in a pair of socks.

Acrylic can be thought of as artificial wool. It is made from the unlikely combination of coal, air, water, oil, and limestone.

Polyester is often blended with other fibers like cotton to get the best of both worlds.

Nylon does not absorb water – this is great for some uses, but also means that nylon fabric and movement combine to create static electricity.
