The text discusses various aspects of wet processing such as pretreatment, dyeing, printing and finishing. It also defines some important terms and provides process sequences for different textile materials.

The three main divisions of wet processing are pretreatment, dyeing & printing, and finishing.

Terms defined include stitching, brushing, shearing/cropping, desizing, scouring etc.

Wet Processing I

(Pretreatment)
1. INTRODUCTION
[Here, * = Reference of Moshiour Rahman.]
Q.

Define wet processing. Describe its main divisions.

Ans: The process by which the textile mtls are treated associated with water is called wet processing.
There are mainly 3 divisions of wet processingi)
Pretreatment: The process, which are done to make the textile mtl suitable for dyeing
& printing are called pre-treatment. Such as desizing, scouring, bleaching etc.
ii)
Dyeing & printing: The process by which the textile mtl are coloured by different
types of dye or pigments, related chemicals required water is called dyeing. Localized
application of dyestuff or pigments on fabric according to the predetermined design is
called printing.
iii)
Finishing: The process by which the textile mtls are made suitable for marketing to
satisfaction / attraction of buyer are called finishing i.e. calendaring, leveling,
anti-creasing, mercerizing, packaging etc.
Q.

Definition of some important terms.*

Ans: 1) Stitching: To increase the length of the fabric for making suitable for processing is called stitching.
It is done by plain sewing m/c.
2) Brushing: To remove the loose fibre & loose ends of the warp & weft threads is known as brushing.
3) Shearing / Cropping: The process by which the attached ends of the warp & weft thread is removed
by cutting by the knives or blades is called shearing. Shearing is done for cotton & cropping for jute.
4) Sinzing: The process by which the protruding / projecting fibres are removed from the fabrics by
burning / heat to increase the smoothness of the fabric is called sinzing.
5) Desizing: The process by which the sizing mtls (starch) are removed from the fabric is known as
desizing.
6) Scouring: The process by which the natural impurities (oil, wax, fat etc) & added / external /
advantatious impurities (dirt, dust etc) are removed from the fabric is called scouring. It is done by
strong NaOH.
7) Souring: The process by which the alkali are removed from the scoured fabric with dilute acid
solution is known as souring.
8) Bleaching: The process by which the natural colours (nitrogeneous substance) are removed from
the fabric to make the fabric pure & permanent white is known as bleaching. It is done by bleaching
agent.
9) Mercerizing: The process by which the cellulosic mtls / substance are treated with highly conc.
NaOH to impart some properties such as strength, absorbency capacity, lusture is known as
mercerizing. It is optional. If the fabrics are 100% export oriented then it is done by highly conc.
NaOH (48-52 Tw).

(Pretreatment)
10) Washing: Washing is done by firstly cold wash, then hot wash (80C) & finally normal wash.
11) Heat setting: The process by which the width of the fabrics are adjusted by heat is called heat setting.
12) After treatment: The process by which the loose dyes are removed from the dyed fabrics to increase
the lusture & fastness property of the fabric is known as after treatment.
13) Calendaring: It is done to remove the undesirable creese & crinkle.
14) Steaming / Curing: To fix up the dyestuff / pigment with the fabric. Steaming is used for dyestuff &
it is done in 100-105C. curing is used for pigments & it is done in 120-180C.
15) Stentering: It is done to increase / adjust the width of the fabric.
