The extra number of air spaces in the Light Spirit Blend yarn is the secret of its breathability and open structure. The new Dacron fibre in Light Spirit Blend is 12 times as wetable as conventional polyester because it is made from a hydrophylic water loving polymer. This permits the fabric to quickly pick up moisture and rapidly move it to the fabric surface where it evaporates.

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • Textiles: Preparation and Processing
DEF

A fabric treatment process, through which the fabric or yarn is immersed in a caustic soda solution and later neutralized in acid... process [which] causes a permanent swelling of the fiber, resulting in an increased luster on the surface of the fabric, an increased affinity for dyes, and increased strength.

DEF

A treatment of cotton yarn or fabric to increase its luster and affinity for dyes. The material is immersed under tension in a cold sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) solution in warp or skein form or in the piece, and is later is neutralized in acid. The process causes a permanent swelling of the fiber and thus increasing its luster.

CONT

Mercerizing with ammonia. The treatment of cellulose with liquid ammonia is far less harsher than with concentrated caustic soda solutions. [...] The ammonia can be almost totally recovered after treatment, distilled and re-cycled; it is therefore environmental friendly and can be considered as non-polluant.

DEF

A system of staple-fibre spinning which utilises air to apply the twisting couple to the yarn during its formation.

OBS

The air is blown through small holes arranged tangentially to the yarn surface and this causes the yarn to rotate. The majority of systems using this technique produce fasciated yarns, but by using two air jets operating in opposing twist directions it is possible to produce yarns with more controlled properties but of more complex structure.

DEF

A fabric effect formed by introducing tufts, loops, or other erect yarns on all or part of the fabric surface. Types are warp, filling, and knotted pile, or loops produced by weaving an extra set of yarns over wires that are then drawn out of the fabric. Plain wires leave uncut loops; wires with a razor-like blade produce a cut-pile surface. Pile fabric can also be made by producing a double-cloth structure woven face to face, with an extra set of yarn interlacing with each cloth alternately. The two fabrics are cut apart by a traversing knife, producing two fabrics with a cut-pile face.

OBS

Pile should not be confused with nap.

OBS

Originally nap and pile were used synonymously, but the present trend of using the two terms for different concepts is to be encouraged as providing a means of differentiation and avoidance of confusion.
