摘要:
CELLULOSE-2 1/2-ACETATE TEXTILE OR KNITTED FABRICS ARE MADE BY WETTING THE RAW MATERIALS; TREATING THEM AT ROOM TEMPERATURE AT A BATH RATIO OF BETWEEN 1:3 TO 1:10 IN A LYE SOLUTION WITH SLOWLY RINSING ALKALI CONENT WHICH IS FIRST RAISED UP TO ONLY 2% OF THE MATERIAL WEIGHT INTRODUCED. THE LYE SOLUTION IS THEN HEATED TO 80-100*C.; TREATING THE PRODUCT AGAIN IN A LYE SOLUTION WITH THE ALKALI CONTENT BEING SLOWLY INCREASED TO 4-5% OF THE INTRODUCED RAW MATERIAL WEIGHT, SO THAT THE SAPONIFICATION IS ONLY ON THE SURFACE.
摘要:
Woven and knit cotton fabrics with improved strength, smooth drying appearance, dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, and hand have been produced by rapid and continuous tension mercerization with liquid ammonia using an improved chainless mercerizer.
摘要:
A woven, predominantly cellulosic fabric, such as an open-weave cotton-based fabric, having at least about 11 percent stretchability in the weft direction with less than about 6 percent growth (after repeated wash-dry cycles) and having wrinkle resistance and shrinkage control within commercial tolerances, is produced by first subjecting a woven, predominantly cellulosic fabric precursor to warp-wise tension while maintaining the fabric in a relaxed state in the filling direction. Next, the fabric is contacted with aqueous alkali while maintaining the aforesaid warp-wise tension, after which the thus-mercerized fabric is subjected to a tensile force in the filling direction sufficient to impart to the fabric, while said force is being applied and while maintaining warp-wise tension, a width of within about -1 and +3 percent of the initial greige width. The fabric is then washed with water to substantially remove the aqueous alkali while maintaining warp-wise tension. The fabric is next contacted with anhydrous liquid ammonia under warp-wise tension and then subjected to compressive shrinkage.
