INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT SOFTENERS ON PILLING PROPERTIES AND DURABILITY TO WASHING OF BAMBOO KNITTED FABRICS

Havlanma ve boncuklanma problemleri, örme kumaşların başlıca problemlerinden birisidir. Kumaşlardaki boncuklanmayla ilgili olarak yumuşatıcıların çeşitli etkileri bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bambu örme kumaşlarda farklı yumuşatıcıların boncuklanma özellikleri üzerine etkisini sistematik bir şekilde araştırmaktır. Ayrıca, 5, 10 ve 20 kez yıkamalardan sonra kullanılan yumuşatıcıların yıkamaya karşı dayanıklılıkları da incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla, öncelikle % 100 bambu örme kumaşlar üretilmiştir. Ön terbiye işlemleri ve boyamadan sonra yedi farklı yumuşatıcı emdirme yöntemiyle kumaşlara aktarılmıştır. Daha sonra, tüm işlem görmemiş ve işlem görmüş kumaşlar Wascator'de yıkanmıştır. Yıkama döngüleri 5, 10 ve 20 olarak seçilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, yumuşatıcıların genel olarak bambu örme kumaşlarda boncuk oluşumunu azalttığı ve yumuşatıcıların etkisinin olumlu olduğu bulunmuştur. Yıkama öncesinde yumuşatıcılar arasında yumuşatıcı S4 (katyonik yumuşatıcı) ve yumuşatıcı S6 (karbamino türevi ve mikro silikon karışımı) en iyi sonuçları vermiştir. Bambu örme kumaşlarda yıkama sırasındaki yoğun mekaniksel etki sebebiyle çoklu yıkamalar, boncuk oluşumunda artışa sebep olmuştur

BAMBU ÖRME KUMAŞLARDA FARKLI YUMUŞATICILARIN PİLLİNG ÖZELLİKLERİ ve YIKAMA DAYANIKLILIĞI ÜZERİNE OLAN ETKİLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Fuzzing and pilling problems are one of the main problems of knitted fabrics. The softeners have various effects on pilling resistance of the fabrics. The aim of this study is to investigate systematically the effect of different softeners on pilling property of bamboo knitted fabrics. Furthermore, the washing durability of the used softeners after 5, 10 and 20 washing cycles was also examined. For this purpose, firstly 100% bamboo knitted fabrics were produced. After the fabrics were pre-treated and dyed, seven different softeners were applied to these fabrics by padding method. Then, all untreated and treated fabrics were laundered in Wascator. Washed cycles were being selected as 5, 10 and 20. In conclusion, it was found that the softeners generally decreased the pilling formation on bamboo knitted fabrics and the effect of softeners was positive. Among the softeners, before washing Softener S4 (cationic softener) and Softener S6 (mixture of carbamino derivative and micro silicone) were the best. The multiple washings caused increases in pilling formation due to the intensive mechanical effect during laundering on bamboo knitted fabrics
