Abstract

This investigation presents an experimental study of the effect of bleaching-dyeing finishing on fabric surface characteristics, i.e. Hand, tactile, and Sewability characterization Instrumental measurements was based on measuring fabric tactile properties as a function of, fabric drape ratio, and fabric bending length, while fabric Sewability was studded in terms of fabric resistance to needle penetration, i.e. fabric Sewability, and fabric hand was assessed by determination the values both of the maximum fabric pulled force and work done through a conical shaped funnel. It was found that, fabric properties such as: bending length, drape ratio, strength, extension, hand, and Sewability, decrease with the increasing the concentration of both polyethylene and Fatty Acids softeners. The obtained results has shown that correlations between fabric hand-tactile-Sewability are quite high.
