Description
Summary:Textile finishing gives textile materials their distinct appearance and aesthetic properties. One of the most critical stages of textile finishing is heat setting. Several factors of textile finishing are depend on heat settings. This study examines the behavior of heat settings and correlates the parameters on single jersey and pique knitted fabrics. In this case, the behavior of single jersey fabric and pique fabric are different in terms of target tumble dry GSM, and the tendency of single jersey cotton & viscose fabric in the grey stage is less width, high GSM, more shrinking characteristics, less bursting strength, and more yellowish than pique fabric. Following the heat setting changes for fabric width and GSM based on light, medium, and dark colors; all heat-dependent finishing parameters, such as fabric weight, pilling, spirality, dimensional stability, bursting strength, and color strength, are systematically analyzed based on industrial applications. The target GSM are set for cotton fabric is 190 and viscose fabric is 210. The result of the GSM are found in the almost in the same range in between 190 and 210. The other properties of fabric after heat settings are pilling 4–5, dimensional stability change (lengthwise 0.86–5.71 and widthwise 0.86–5.43), spirality (−2.5 to +2.1), bursting strength (162.4–450.4 kN/m2), and color strength (increased an average 5%). As a result, analyzing several influential factors based on heat setting provides a clear concept for the cleaner industrial production of knitted fabrics.
