Colour Fastness of Textiles | Color Fastness To Washing

Colour Fastness of Textiles | Color Fastness To Washing Colour Fastness The resistance of colour of  textiles to fade or bleed against different agencies such as light, wash,water, perspiration, rubbing, acid, alkali,hot pressing, bleaching etc. is called colour fastness. Colour fastness is a term used in the dyeing of textile materials, meaning resistance of the material’s colour to fading or running. The term […]

Identification of Textile Fibre 

Identification of Textile Fibre  A: Burning Test :- Textile fibres can be identified by observing the burning phase of these fibres in flame . All natural and regenerated fibres are burnt to ash and special smell is observed for each fibre. Synthetic fibres on burning contract and form beads.   All cellulosic fibres such as jute, […]

Abrasion and Abrasion Resistance Test

Abrasion and Abrasion Resistance Test Abrasion:  Abrasion is one aspect of wear and is the rubbing away of the component fibers and yarns of the fabric. Abrasion may be classified as follows- Plane or flat abrasion-A flat area of material is abraded. Edge abrasion-This kind of abrasion occurs at collars and folds. Flex abrasion-In this […]
