Effect of Resin Finishing on Some Properties of 100% Cotton Light Weight Woven Fabric
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, experimental investigation was conducted to assess the wrinkle-resistance performance of resin-treated 100% cotton light-weight fabric. Resin (Dimethyloldihydroethylene urea, DMDHEU) was used for treating 100% cotton light-weight fabric with different treatment parameters (resin concentration: 30 g/L, 45 g/L, 60 g/L; pick-up: 60%, 70%, 80%; drying temperature: 110 °C, 120 °C; and curing time: 2 min, 2.5 min, 3 min). After resin treatment, wrinkle properties, as well as the tearing strength and dimensional stability, of the resin treated fabrics were evaluated. Experimental results revealed that the resin concentration, pick-up, drying temperature, and curing time are inter-related, which could affect the final performance of the 100% cotton light-weight woven fabric. Thus, the effects of different parameters on the performance of the 100% cotton light-weight woven fabric were compared and discussed. Generally speaking, the resin finishing improved the wrinkle properties and dimensional stability but reduced the tearing strength of 100% cotton light-weight woven fabric.
