Influence of Laundering on Comfort Characteristics of Moisture Management Finished Microdenier Polyester Knitted Fabrics

摘要

In this study an attempt has been made to study the influence of laundry performance on the various comfort characteristics of Moisture Management Finished (MMF) knitted fabrics. The influence of laundering on comfort characteristics of MMF microdenier polyester knitted fabrics was studied to find out the durability of the MMF and its capability to withstand at least 20 home laundry cycles. In order to study this effect, the MMF knitted fabrics were subjected to different laundering cycles. It was observed that 10 wash and 20 wash fabrics exhibited a superior performance thereby fulfilling an important parameter of permanent wash proofness.
