DEF

[An operation which consists on the] removal from a woven textile fabric of a protective coating (size) originally laid on warp threads in order to reduce mechanical wear during the weaving process.

CONT

Desizing, irrespective of what the desizing agent is, involves impregnation of the fabric with the desizing agent, allowing the desizing agent to degrade or solubilise the size material, and finally to wash out the degradation products. The major desizing processes are: enzymatic desizing of starches on cotton fabrics, oxidative desizing, acid desizing and removal of water-soluble sizes.
