Fabric Odor-
Definition and Causes – IR Dyeing Machine
This is a common problem and it is mainly due to one or a combination of the following:
The use of certain chemicals in the dyeing process such as Carriers in the dyeing of Polyester fabrics at low temperatures The over-use of neutralizing chemicals such as Acetic Acid or Sodium Thiosulfate The use of incorrect softeners .The use of incorrect Anti-Odor and Wicking chemicals
Preventive Suggestions
The use of correct dyeing and finishing procedures and considering all technical aspects of the used chemicals are essential .The use of Carrier based chemicals needs to be avoided. This chemical not only creates offensive odors on the fabric but it is also known to adversely affect the environment. The neutralizing chemicals used during the dyeing process need to be thoroughly rinsed.
Corrective Measures
- In most cases a prolonged exposure to air will remove the odor.
- In more severe cases a high temperature scour will be necessary.
Yarn Related Defects /Problems:
Pilling-
Definition and Causes
This is the formation of tiny balls of fiber on the surface of the fabric caused by frictional forces.It is normally attributed to the low twist factors in the yarn. Low twist levels create protruding fibers from the yarn, particularly when short staple fibers are used.Spinning methods also play a roll. Air jet spinning produces less protruding fibers than open-end spinning.
Other factors can also be considered. Such as the use of different fiber staple lengths in blended polyester cotton and nylon cotton yarns(having different tensile strengths) where pilled cotton components that are formed are held on to the surface by the stronger synthetic fiber and can not easily and naturally be removed.
Preventive Suggestions
Based on the end-use, yarns with correct twist factor and fiber lengths must be used.Attentions must also be paid to methods of dyeing and finishing to ensure correct procedures are employed (fabric rotation speed, water levels, dye load size, etc.).The use of fiber to fiber and fiber to metal lubricants is strongly recommended.
Corrective Measures -IR Dyeing Machine
Most of the pills can be removed by washing the fabric with a mild solution of Enzyme at high temperatures. Using excessive amounts of enzyme, however, may result in changing the color or weakening of the spandex yarns. In severe cases a light brushing and/or sueding may be an alternative.
