  1. Textile bleaching

    Unreferenced date February 2009 Textile bleaching is one of the stages in the manufacture of textile s. All raw textile materials, when they are in natural form, are known as greige material pronounced grey sh . This greige material will be with its natural color, odour and impurities that are not suitable for clothing materials. Not only the natural impurities will remain on the greige material but also the add ons that were made during its cultivation, growth and manufacture in the form of pesticide s, fungicide s, worm killers, Sizing Textile warp sizing sizes , lubricant s, etc. The removal of these natural coloring matters and add ons during the previous state of manufacturing is called scouring and bleaching. Scouring Scouring is the first process carried out with or without chemicals, at room temperature or at suitable higher temperatures with the addition of suitable wetting agent s, alkali and so on. Scouring removes all the waxes, pectins and makes the textile material hydrophilic or water absorbent. See also wool Scouring scouring wool Bleaching The next process of decolorization of greige material in to a suitable material for next processing is called bleaching. Bleaching of textiles can be classified in to oxidative bleaching and reductive bleaching. Oxidative bleaching Generally oxidative bleachings are carried out using sodium hypochlorite , sodium chlorite or hydrogen peroxide . Natural fibres like cotton , ramie , jute , wool , bamboo are all generally bleached with oxidative methods. Reductive bleaching Reductive method of bleaching is done with Sodium hydrosulphite , a powerful reducing agent. Fibres like Polyamide , Polyacrylics and Polyacetates can be bleached using reductive bleaching technology.

  1. Dominion Textile

    The Dominion Textile Inc. or Domtex was a major Canadian textile manufacturer that was founded in 1905 and closed in 1998 when its remains were purchased by the American Polymer Group , at the time headed by Jerry Zucker businessman Jerry Zucker . The company was formed in 1905 from a merger of four major Canadian textile companies, and it quickly gained a near monopoly in the tariff protected Canadian market. Many of its products were once household names in Canada, such as the Wabasso bedding line, Caldwell towels, and Penman s underwear. Based in Montreal, it was one of Canada s leading companies and had close links to the government. Most of the company s production was based in small towns in Quebec and elsewhere across Canada, in most of these towns the mill was the primary employer. The company was much praised during the Great Depression for keeping employment levels high despite a collapse in prices. During the Second World War the company profited as a major supplier to the Allied war effort. In 1948 the economic situation changed dramatically as tariffs between western nations were greatly reduced, and Dominion Textile was exposed to strong competition from the United States and Britain. Dominion Textiles market share fell dramatically from nearly 100 of the Canadian market in 1947 to only 47 a decade later. The company almost collapsed, but eventually adapted to the new conditions. It was rebranded as Domtex and moved into new areas such as the production of polyester ... in an attempted attack on a Dominion Textile plant in Montreal .

  1. Conductive textile

    Cleanup date December 2007 A conductive textile is a textile fabric which can conduct electricity . Conductive textiles can be made with metal strands weaving woven into the construction of the textile. There is also an interest in semiconducting textiles, made by impregnating normal textiles with carbon or metal based powders. ref http www.techexchange.com thelibrary smarttextiles.html ref Conductive fibers consist of a non conductive or less conductive substrate, which is then either coated or embedded with electrically conductive elements, often carbon , nickel , copper , gold , silver , or titanium . Substrates typically include cotton , polyester , nylon , and stainless steel to high performance fibers such as aramids and PBO. Straddling the worlds of textiles and wires, conductive fibers are sold either by weight or length, and measured in Units of textile measurement denier or American Wire Gauge AWG . Uses for conductive fibers and textiles may include Electrostatics static dissipation, EMI shielding, ref http www.fibtex.lodz.pl 48 13 47.pdf ref signal and power transfer in low Electrical resistance resistance versions, and as a heating element in higher resistance versions. Their benefits over solid or stranded metal wires come from conductive fibers flexibility and ability to use them in existing textile and wire machinery weaving, knitting, braiding, etc. Another more recent use is in the production of Stun gun or Taser proof clothing, where the conductive textile is used as a sort of Faraday shield in a layer of the garment in question. Recent new entrants into the conductive fiber market now include highly conductive stainless steel fiber. Because of the rapid growth in the kinds of conductive fibers and the uses of these fibers, a trade association has been formed to increase awareness, utilization, and possibly standarize terminology. The association is Conductive Fiber Manufacturers Council ref http www.cfibermfg.com ref . References references See also ...   more details
