Important Factors That Affect the Textile Finishing

Methods of wet application of finishes on fabrics are mostly either by exhaustion techniques or by padding concentrated solution and depend on the substrate and the feasibility of adopting either of the processes. Applications by foam applicator by spray techniques are common in the case of made up garments. Whereas padding method of application is feasible for all softeners, exhaust method of application is possible only where the softener has good substantivity. However high substantivity could cause tailing in a pad box application and requires to be controlled - discussed under padding method of application. Softeners are the most employed finishing agents either by themselves or along with other body builders/modifiers. Majority of the softeners are cationic. Cationic...

Scope Of Collaborations And Joint Ventures In Indian Textile Machinery Industry

Technology is the key enabler for rapid growth of the textile engineering industry. Efforts should therefore be directed towards technical upgradation of the textile engineering industry, technology transfer, re-engineering, promotion of joint ventures, BPO and R&D efforts. Technology and brand play the most vital role in the decision of a customer to buy a machine. The other parameter, viz., productivity together with consistency of quality would be concomitant with technology. Factors like energy conservation, eco-friendliness, reduction in labour cost, facility of operation and services would influence demand. Preamble The willingness of foreign manufacturers to transfer technology, continuity of transfer, and cost of transfer are aspects to be considered while procuring...
