Fuzz on loop pile carpets usually resulting from poor anchorage or fiber snagging.
Industry:Textiles
Fibers that can act as an adhesive in a web because their softening point is relatively low compared with that of the other fibers in the material.
Industry:Textiles
Fiber with a silk-like hand made from a condensation polymer of p-benzoic acid.
Industry:Textiles
Fiber used for medical applications, socks, shoe liners, etc., in which bactericides are introduced directly into the fiber matrix as opposed to fiber simply having a bactericidal finish applied.
Industry:Textiles
Fiber formed from a metallic salt (normally calcium) of alginic acid, which is a natural polymer occurring in seaweed. Alginate fiber is soluble in water.
Industry:Textiles
Fabrics made by an air-forming process. The fibers are distributed by air currents to give a random orientation within the web and a fabric with isotropic properties.
Industry:Textiles
Dimethyl ketone (CH<sub>3</sub>COCH<sub>3</sub>). One of the most powerful organic solvents. Acetone dissolves secondary cellulose acetate and other derivatives of cellulose. It is miscible with water and has a low boiling point (55-56°C).
Industry:Textiles
Any of various relaxation treatments to produce maximum bulk in textured or latent crimp yarns or in fabrics made therefrom. The essential conditions are heat, lubrication, movement, and the absence of tension. Bulk development may be accomplished during wet processing or may be a separate operation such as hot-air tumbling, steam-injection tumbling, or dry cleaning.
Industry:Textiles
Braided structure with two yarn systems one running in one direction and the other in the opposite direction.
