Textile processing auxiliaries
Textile processing is one of the important industries related with textile
manufacturing operations. This industry has a long history that begins with "Indigo
dyeing" a natural color, derived from a plant.
Once the process of coloring textiles was considered as an art. According to ones
creativity and imagination on those days numerous techniques were evolved in
coloring different materials such as cotton, bamboo, jute, earthen-ware and even
mortar walls. Slowly this technique was evolved in to a science and so many artificial
coloring matters called 'dyestuffs' had started coming in to existence.
This evolution of coloring matters in to synthetic dyestuff and the application
techniques on various textile materials are all put together is called 'Textile
Processing'.
Textile processing is a general term that covers right from singeing(protruding fiber
removal) to finishing and printing of fabric.
Pretreatment of cellulose fabric
1) Singeing is the process of removing the pills and protruding fibers of the fabric
coming from weaving. This operation may either be done at the beginning of the
process or at the end of the finishing operation.
2) Desizing is the second operation after singeing. Desizing of fabric is essential to
remove the sizing materials added during warping to strengthen the warp yarns. This
size if present during subsequent processing will affect the quality of look and finish.
There are many ways to remove the size from the fabric. A few methods are as below.
a) Acid Desizing - this is an old process of destroying the starch and other size
materials
in th presence of acid at elevated temperatures.
b) Oxidative desizing method - desizing with the help of an oxidizing agent
such
as Hydrogen peroxide.
c) Enzymatic desizing method - this is a bio degradation method that destroys
starch
and other sizing materials in to soluble form that will be washed off during
subsequent
washes.
3) Bleaching Process: Bleaching is a process to make the fabric or yarn look brighter
and whiter. This is achieved by oxidizing or reducing the coloring matters in to

2. colorless form.
Mostly widely used textile bleaching method is Hydrogen Peroxide bleaching. This is
carried out in an alkaline bath at about 80 to 85°C at a pH of 11.

Dyeing Process
Dyeing Process is yet another sub branch of processing with so many complicate
process.
According to the application technique and the type of dyestuff used the process
dyeing is categorized.
1. Direct Dyeing is a process of applying coloring matter directly on fiber
without any
additive. This is a simple process but the fastness parameters of the dyed
material is very
poor. So direct dyestuff application is reduced to very minimum and applied to
materials
where the finished goods do not go for post washings during usage. Example -
Floor
Mat, Foot mat, etc.
2. Naphthol dyes are a group of dyestuff used to create fast and bright shades on
cotton
fibers. But the application process is a very complicated one. However due to
its cheapness
in producing dark and bright shades, these dyestuffs are still used in the
market wherever
dark but cheap shades are required.
3. Vat dyes are a class of dye stuff applied from small vats or troughs. This class
of
dye stuff yields very fast colors to washing, light and rubbing. Mostly used for
producing
dull but all difficult shades where fastness is the prime requirement. Example -
Suiting,
Stripped shirting, awning materials and military clothing.
4. Reactive dyestuffs are the bight and fast shade producing dyestuffs. The
application
is also very simple and a lot of research and development is going on in this
class.
But the pollution load created due to this dyeing is very harmful to all water
sources.

• Lubricants
• Levelling Agents
• Dye Fixing Agents
• Washing Off/ Soaping
• Defoamers
• Polyester
Finishing
Finishing is the final process to impart the required end use finishes to the fabric.
For example, crease resistant finish is imparted to make the fabric wrinkle free, fire
proof finish is for fire resistance, anti microbial finish for odor and micro organism
resist finished and so on.
5) Textile printing is a science as well as an art. In those days the printing was made
using so
many wooden dyes and wax printing. But now the science and technology has
developed so
that via digital printing any photograph can be printed straightaway on the fabric.
