TEMPORARY FINISHES
Any operation (other than preparation and coloring) that
improves the appearance and/or usefulness of fabric after it
leaves the loom or knitting machine.
Impart certain special properties
Stiffness
Softness
Water proofing
Flame proofing
Moth proofing
To improve wearing qualities of cloth by making it shrinkage

Based on degree of permanence:

Permanent Finish: Usually involve a chemical change in fibre
structure and do not change or alter throughout the life of the fabric
Semi-permanent finish: Last through several laundering or dry
cleanings and many are renewable in home laundering or dry
cleaning.
Temporary finish: Are removed or substantially diminished the
first time the article is laundered or dry cleaned.
If the finishing effect in the fabric does not disappear and
remains unaffected through all the conditions of wear and
washing treatments, then the finish is said to be permanent
finish.
Sanforising
Fulling
Mercerization
Napping and sueding
Resin Finish
Water Proof
Flame Proof
Sanforising is a process where the fabric is run through a
sanforizer, a machine that has drums filled with hot steam.
It is done to control the shrinkage of the fabric.
Rubber blankets and needles are used
Cellulose fibres(cotton) are known for their comfort during wear
and various other favourable properties.
Resins are used for various wet finishes basically on cellulose and
cellulosic blends .
The resin finishes had been mainly been developed for the basic
problems of crease formations on cellulosic fibers, thus these
finishes came to be known as – “Anti crease or Anti crush or
Crease Resistant or Crease Recovery finish ,easy care finish
or Resin finish since resins are used for these finish”.
Minimize shrinkage

CROSS-
LINKING TYPE
These resins form a surface coating on the applied substrate
(fabric).
No reaction between fibers and the resin molecules.
These type of resins give stiffness to the fabric and some extent of
crease recovery, which is lower than cross-linking resins.
If cured these resins show behavior similar to cross-linking type of
resins.
