WEAR PROPERTIES & DURABLE PRESS FINISH
DEMAND IN MARKET:
2. Shade Change:
Some sensitive dyes will change shade when garments are
treated with resins. It is necessary to either change to non-
sensitive dyes or dye to accommodate the change.
Wash fastness of face fabric, linings, sewing thread and waist bands
i.e. the dimension shrinking of the untreated fabric should be below
3%.
The face fabric, linings, sewing thread and waist bands should be heat
resistance i.e. should not show dimensional changes and dye migration
at curing temperatures i.e. 155-170ºC
i) Pre-cure process:
A DIP-SATURATION-HYDROEXTRACT PROCESS:
Garment has to be free from residual alkali and other substances
disturbing the cross linking process and as described earlier.
Procedure:
Step I:
In the first step, the dry garments are impregnated with the finishing
solution, by maintain the MLR 1:10 or 1:15. The garments may be
agitated briefly in the solution, or a bundle of the garment may be
dipped in the finishing solution. The important factor is that the
garments become thoroughly saturated with the finish. A typical finish
will contain a wetting agent, cross-linking resin, catalyst, softener the
garment is soaked in bath for 30 mins.

A) PRE-CURE PROCESS
The finish solution is applied via spray where in the appropriate amount of
finish solution is distributed to the garments as a fine mist during the
rotational tumbling in an enclosed device such as garment wash/dye
machine or a modified tumble dryer. To assist in allowing the finish solution
to be evenly distributed throughout the garments, the rotation is altered
between forward and reverse during the spraying cycle. This allows for the
garments to become re-oriented, thus permitting a greater possibility for
uniform application. After the spray application is complete, the garments
continue to rotate to allow for the migration of the finish from high to low
concentrated areas. This time of equilibrations will depend upon the nature
of the garments, the amount of resin solution applied the rate of spray mist
(drop size and spraying profile). After the equilibration is complete, the
garments are the processed by the normal sequence of tumble-drying
pressing and oven curing or tumble drying, curing and then pressing.

100 gm weight garment is taken in the machine and then 45 gm. of the
above solution is added and exhausted in the machine for 10 mins., the rest
45 gm. bath is added and exhausted for 20 mins and then garment is :
Step-II:
The garment is hydro-extracted to about 75-80% wet pick-up. The
level of wet pick-up will depend primarily upon the construction of the
fabric.
Step-III:
Tumble-drying the impregnated garments is a critical step. If the area
to be creased becomes too dry and hot, some curing may take place.
The problem with this partial pre-curing is that it will inhibit the
formation of sharp crease. Moisture in the area to be creased should not
fall below 10-12%.
