Study Notes
Textile Production Stages
- Textile production involves stages from fiber to garment
- The basic stages include: Fiber, Yarn, Fabric, Garment
- More detailed stages include: Fiber, Spinning (for Yarn), Weaving/Knitting (for Fabric), Dyeing, Finishing, Cutting, Sewing (for Garment)
Textile Fibers
- Fibers are the basic units of fabrics
- Main requirements for textile fibers include: Fineness, Flexibility, Sufficient Length, Sufficient Strength
Fiber Classification
- Fibers are classified based on their origin
- Natural fibers can be Plant (Seed, Bast, Leaf), Animal (Hair, Filament), or Mineral (Asbestos, Glass, Gold)
- Man-made fibers are Re-generate fibers (Protein, Cellulose), or Synthetic fibers (Polyester, Nylon, Acrylic, Elastane)
Fiber Properties (Examples)
- Cotton: Moderately tenacious, inelastic, poor crease recovery, good absorbent, good heat conductor, good resistance to alkalis, dries slowly
- Flax: Good tenacity, inelastic, stiff handle, absorbs water rapidly, expensive
- Wool: High tenacity, low crimp configuration, warm, high absorbent, expensive
- Silk: Obtained from silkworms, moderate strength, good crease recovery, good absorbency
- Viscose: Regenerated fiber, raw materials are wood pulp, very cheap,moderate tenacity, absorbs well, resistant to heat
- Polyester: Man-made, strongest, least absorbent, good elastic recovery, resistant to acids, alkalis, and sunlight
- Spandex: Man-made, good tenacity, good elasticity, good crease recovery, poor heat conductivity, resistant to alkalis
