1. A product designed to impart a soft mellowness to the fabric. Examples are glucose, glycerine, tallow, or any one of a number of quaternary ammonium compounds. 2. A substance that reduces the hardness of water by removing or sequestering the calcium and magnesium ions. 3. A substance used to reduce friction during mixing and processing when dry powders are added to polymers.
Industry:Textiles
The temperature at which substances without a sharp melting point change from viscous to plastic flow.
Industry:Textiles
A test of resistance of textile material to certain microorganisms present in soil. The samples are buried in soil for an extended period, then removed and measured for strength loss.
Industry:Textiles
The staining or smudging of textile materials resulting from the deposit of dirt, oil undesirable dye, etc.
Industry:Textiles
Reaction of the active end-groups within a solid polymer. It may be intentional as in heating and drying nylon 66 to increase the final degree of polymerization; or it may be undesirable such as that which occurs in fibers under high-temperature conditions in tires that leads to increased degree of polymerization, cross-linking, and subsequent brittleness and loss of strength.
Industry:Textiles
1. A relatively large hole in fabric characterized by many broken warp ends andfloating picks. One cause is the breaking of one or both harness straps, permitting the harness todrop and break out warp ends. 2. The breaking of many yarn ends in a beaming operation,usually as a result of mechanical failures.
