Types of Calenders in Textiles With the simultaneous action of temperature, force and moisture, the surface of the textile substrate are modified. This simultaneous action is called calendering. Calendering in textile may simply be achieved while passing the textile substrate in between two heated drums or rollers. The rotation speed and pressure of the heated […]
Eco-Friendly Textile Dyeing Process Introduction: Dyeing and finishing processes in the textile industry have attracted a lot of attention lately as the concept of sustainable and eco-friendly textiles and garments are gaining popularity. Here we will focus today on eco-friendly textile methods which are a widely discussed topic for the present. The textile industry is […]
Objectives of a dyeing lab | Pantone book | Lab Dip development procedure LAB section Lab section in dyeing is the first major segment of a dyehouse despite of its size compared to the production floor. Lab is where the “lab dips” are prepared and the final recipes for bulk dyeing is constructed. A lab […]

Mechanical Properties of Polymers Mechanical Properties: It is of great importance to be familiar with some basic mechanical properties of the material before its application in any field, such as how much it can be stretched, how much it can be bent, how hard or soft it is, how it behaves on the application of […]
Reactive Dyes – A Better Alternative To Traditional Dyes? How Is The Dyeing Operation Performed? Dyeing operations are performed by binding dyes to fibres. There are primarily two types of dyes, namely: Water-soluble dyes Water-insoluble dyes When it comes to dyeing fibres, some fibres adhere to and accept dyes easily, while others do not. Depending […]

Light Fastness and Factors Influencing Light Fastness Behavior Textile Dyes and Pigments used in the industry vary to a great extent in terms of their resistance to light sources and this phenomenon is called as ‘Light-fastness of Textiles’. Sunlight materials emits electromagnetic radiations of several wavelengths. Visible range of spectrum (400 – 700 nm) , […]
Physical Properties of Polymers Polymer: A chemical compound or mixture of compounds formed by polymerization and consisting essentially of repeating structural units is called ‘Polymer’. Polymers range from familiar synthetic plastic such as polystyrene to natural bio-polymers such as DNA and proteins that are fundamental to biological structure and function. Physical Properties: Physical properties of polymers […]
