A Study on the Effect of Crease Resistant Finish Treatment on Perspiration Fastness Property of Cotton Garments

摘要

Present day cotton garments are mostly given chemical treatments like Softening, Easy care (Wrinkle free), Antimicrobial etc. Human sweat contains chemicals and some times affects the appearances of the garments.Effect of perspiration on wrinkle free treated cotton fabric on acidic and alkaline condition has been studied during this research work. It has been observed that there is no negative effect due to perspiration at different concentrations of the wrinkle free treatment. However, at 100 gpl concentration of resin component of the finish solution, colour bleeding was resulted. Hence, garments manufacturers should be careful on the amount of chemicals used during wrinkle free treatments.
